Key Points Question Is prehospital plasma administration associated with improved survival among severely injured patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI)? Findings In this secondary analysis of a predefined subgroup of 166 severely injured patients with trauma from a cluster randomized clinical trial, prehospital plasma administration was associated with lower mortality in patients with TBI. Meaning Future studies are needed to confirm these clinical benefits, but prehospital plasma administered soon after injury may improve survival for patients with TBI.
