AB In  austere  situations,  there  may  be  no  blood  available  for  transfusion.  If  blood  is  available,  there  is  a  greater  risk  that  it  could  be  contaminated  and  infect  the  patient  than  under  optimal  circumstances.  In  addition,  the  methods  to  rapidly  rewarm  blood  to  avoid  the  complications  of  hypothermic  transfusion  may  not  be  available.
