Suggestion Declined HEMS Blood Usage Rule of 3-1

[wackerprice]

Hello!
So I have noticed with the HEMS Team that we dont really account for the blood used within a scene - and a lot of time time the amount of blood given to a patient wouldnt suffice the needs of the patients condition.
Theres something called the "Rule of 3-1" and "Third-Space Losses".

The rule of 3-1 entails for every 1ml of blood replaced via Blood transfusion, It must be accompnied by 3ml of Saline Solution (or ringalatate)
The rule of three eliminates the potentiality of "Third-Space Losses" which is caused by blood & fluids being taken by the interstitium (Organ and muscle lining) and tissues.

So for 1 Bag of Blood the patient would need 3 bags of saline alongside it to eliminate the fluid gaps caused by tissues.

Measurements:
Blood Bag = 450-500ml of Blood
Saline Bag = 500ml of Saline

Many thanks,

Hey,

The suggestion is very much valid but also a little overcomplicated for what we aim to provide for the server. A lot of things are simple for one reason; to keep it understanding and encouraging for people to do medical roleplay.

I don't overly see the added roleplay value this could introduce to LAS without overcomplicating the existing processes. (one of the reasons we've moved away from measurements).

Will reject for now. Cheers.
