Massive Transfusion

Massive transfusion is defined as either the transfusion of:

1. 10 or more units of packed red blood cells in 24 hours; or
2. "a sh*t ton" of packed red blood cells

This assumes, however, you can somehow figure out the paperwork to blood in the first place. For more information, see Trauma-Associated Severe Hemorrhage Score or Assessment of Blood Consumption Score.
