Transfusiones de sangre: Las Malvinas

The transcript discusses how delayed medical attention during battles allowed soldiers to survive due to natural clotting, as they were not given fluids that raised blood pressure. In contrast, immediate blood transfusions in Vietnam broke natural clots, leading to higher mortality. This led to a reevaluation of transfusion timing, with current practices favoring a watch-and-wait approach to allow the body's repair system to function effectively.
