Most patients had a non-traumatic etiology. The majority was transfused with high ratios of plasma:PRBC and platelet:PRBC, but not in accordance with the aim of the local protocol (1:1:1). Crystalloids were administered liberally for both trauma and non-trauma patients. There was a lower use of hemostatic adjuvants than recommended in the local transfusion protocol. Awareness to local protocol should be increased.
