Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if leukoreduced blood transfusions reduce the risk of infection following trauma. Specifically, the investigators intend to evaluate whether there are clinically relevant differences in the rates of infection and in the severity of multiple organ failure in critically injured trauma patients receiving leukoreduced blood products compared to those receiving standard allogeneic blood products.
