The Israeli Defense Force Medical Corps (IDF‐MC) recently implemented the use of low titer group O whole blood (LTOWB) in the airborne combat search and rescue unit (CSAR) for both military and civilian patients during transport to definitive care. LTOWB is preferentially used by the CSAR instead of red blood cell units and freeze‐dried plasma (FDP) for patients with signs of hemorrhagic shock. Ten percent of group O donors were eligible to donate LTOWB as they had anti‐A and ‐B IgM titers of <50.
