Cefazolin for Trauma / hemorrhage
Adult dosing has a median of 2000 mg across 35 published protocols, with the middle half between 2000 and 2000.
Doses far off from what other protocols give are likely misreads, so they are left out until checked. How that works.

Values in mg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a medication five times still gets one vote.
