English term or phrase: trauma release blood
Volume resuscitation
Rapid 20 mL/kg isotonic crystalloid solution; if no improvement, repeat up to a total of 60 mL/kg
Consider giving packed red blood cells. Type-specific blood is almost as good as typed and crossed blood. If unavailable or no time, use trauma release blood (O negative).
If no response, consider pneumothorax and other source of bleeding (e.g., abdomen, long bone fractures, pelvis).

Explanation:
From the link given below (from the US), I understand that this is blood to treat a patient suffering from trauma, when there is not enough time for a complete crossmatch test.

The doctor must sign a release document for the blood bank, justifying the need for this risky procedure.
