#TraumaCare

[THOR_Network @theTHORnetwork]

The afternoon session at #THOR2026 focused on hemorrhagic shock, endotypes, omics, AI, and precision medicine.

The key idea: not one “magic bullet,” but the right treatment for the right patient.

[THOR_Network @theTHORnetwork]

The second scientific morning session at #THOR2026 focused on TBI.

Drs. Billiar, Valadka, and Hawryluk discussed blunt and penetrating brain injury, whole blood, plasma, omics, military data, and the challenge of building evidence-based guidance.

#TBI #Neurotrauma

[THOR_Network @theTHORnetwork]

Day 2 of #THOR2026 opened with lessons from Ukraine.

Drone warfare, complex wounds, prolonged tourniquet use, decision support, and AI-enabled trauma care are changing what casualty management requires.

[THOR_Network @theTHORnetwork]

Questioning dogma is part of THOR’s DNA.

Dr. Spinella discussed how cold-stored platelets have historically been viewed, and why hemostatic function matters in active bleeding.

#THOR2026 #TransfusionMedicine

[THOR_Network @theTHORnetwork]

TOWAR Trial results:
In injured patients requiring prehospital blood transfusion and at risk of hemorrhagic shock, whole blood did not result in lower 30-day mortality compared with component blood.

#THOR2026 #WholeBlood

[THOR_Network @theTHORnetwork]

The whole truth about whole blood?

We still need more LTOWB studies, timing matters, logistics matter, and the battlefield continues to answer questions.

Give patients what they bleed.
#THOR2026 #WholeBlood

[THOR_Network @theTHORnetwork]

Cryopreserved platelets may not replace liquid platelets where supply is strong.

But Prof. Reade’s CLIP-II results show why they may still matter where platelet access is limited.

Rural, remote, military, austere care.

#THOR2026 #TransfusionMedicine

[THOR_Network @theTHORnetwork]

Plasma saves lives, but access is the challenge.
Dr. Andre Cap discussed FrontlineODP™, Velico’s spray-dried plasma system, and Phase 1 trial results showing no safety signals, no thromboembolic events, and successful rehydration of 66 units.
#THOR2026 #PlasmaEverywhere

[THOR_Network @theTHORnetwork]

RDCR is not one-size-fits-all.

Irish leaders in prehospital care, surgery, anaesthesia, and transfusion medicine discussed the unique challenges of managing life-threatening bleeding and building RDCR capability in Ireland.
#THOR2026

[THOR_Network @theTHORnetwork]

New to THOR? Curious about RDCR?

Col Tom Woolley’s RDCR Primer traced how the field has evolved from defining resuscitation practices to building systems for whole blood, hemorrhage control, technology, ethics, and preparedness.

It’s not just about whole blood.

Radiation injury isn’t just radiation.

John McManus highlighted how immune collapse after exposure can drive infection, sepsis, organ failure, and death.

Preparedness means understanding what actually determines survival.
#THOR2026 #RadiationMedicine

[THOR_Network @theTHORnetwork]

The blood supply chain works like a vending machine, but LSCO asks how we keep restocking it under pressure.

Surg Cdr Tom Scorer made clear there is no single answer. Every product has limits. Preparedness means layered blood support.
