About this trial
This study aims to compare the incidence of thromboembolic complications among trauma patients receiving PCC, rFVIIa, both agents, or neither during massive transfusion. Secondary objectives include comparing mortality, transfusion requirements, intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital length of stay, ventilator-free days, and the incidence of transfusion-associated adverse events such as transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) and transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO). Subgroup analyses will evaluate outcomes in patients with and without laboratory-confirmed TIC (INR \>1.2).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Adults ≥18 years
Trauma patients directly admitted from the scene with highest-level trauma activation: Injury -Severity Score (ISS) >15.
Requirement for massive transfusion, defined as ≥3 units packed red blood cells (PRBC) within the first hour or ≥10 PRBC within the first 24 hours

Trial population
This will be a retrospective cohort study conducted between 1 January 2023 to 1 October 2025 at University of Florida Jacksonville trauma center. The study will evaluate the impact of Prothrombin Complex, recombinant activated factor VII, and their combination on outcomes in adult trauma patients undergoing massive transfusion.
