No risk ,all benefit ... if you are looking for a way to literally save lives in EMS , this is it ! Whole blood , EMS needs funding and integration into main stream healthcare for this to be a reality ,you think it's not your problem,Until it is .. then it's to late @UABTrauma @UABEMResidents @EmsUab @UABEmergencyMed @ALFireCollege @ALFireChiefs @emresidents @AlAcep @bhamfirerescue
Breaking: Children who are hemorrhaging should also receive whole blood. 🩸 Recent research published in the Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery highlights a powerful statistic: for every 10% increase in the proportion of low titer group O whole blood (LTOWB) used in pediatric trauma resuscitation, there’s a 38% decrease in in-hospital mortality. It’s time to ensure that EMS protocols for whole blood programs include children. This lifesaving intervention can make a profound difference in outcomes for our youngest patients. Let’s work together to bring hashtag#WholeBlood to every patient in need—no matter their age. #EMS #Pediatrics #TraumaCare #SavingLives"
