We need help from our community!

Bleeding is the most common cause of preventable death after injury in children. There have been no large studies to guide doctors in how best to care for children with life-threatening bleeding after trauma.

We are taking part in a national study to see what combination of treatments given soon after arrival in the emergency department can improve survival. The treatments include blood products (whole blood, red blood cells, plasma and platelets) and a medication that can help blood clot (tranexamic acid). 

Please join our virtual community forum discussing the Massive Transfusion in Children-II (MATIC-2) Trial.
