Validation of Automated Prediction of Blood Product Needs Algorithm Processing Continuous Non-Invasive Vital Signs Streams (ONPOINT4)

Hemorrhagic shock occurs frequently in natural and man-made disaster scenarios. To control bleeding and to provide necessary resuscitation, swift and accurate diagnosis and decision-making are required. Early recognition of bleeding and the need for targeted interventions could improve both survival and resource management, allowing the receiving hospital to prepare required blood, surgeons, or other resources in advance of patient arrival and to conserve valuable resources in those patients who are not bleeding. Resources can be saved through avoidance of over-triage, thereby reducing unnecessary air transport, unnecessary blood transfusions, and unnecessary evaluation with labs, X-rays, and computed tomography scans, which is important in all resource-constrained and austere environments.
