UNASSIGNED: Massive @entity548 with @entity1003 is one of the leading causes of preventable @entity204 in the battlefield. The development of freeze-dried plasma (FDP) allows for early treatment with coagulation-optimizing resuscitation fluid in the prehospital setting. This report describes the first prehospital use of FDP in a @entity1 with carotid @entity1317 due to a high-velocity gunshot wound (HVGSW) to the neck. It also describes in-flight constitution and administration of FDP in a Medevac Helicopter. Early administration of FDP may contribute to hemodynamic stabilization and reduction in trauma-induced @entity1003 and @entity520 . However, large-scale studies are needed to define the prehospital use of FDP and other blood products. Gellerfors M , Linde J , Gryth D .
