Leading the Way: Advancing Prehospital Blood Transfusion
Early blood transfusion can be a game-changer in trauma care, improving survival rates before patients even reach the hospital.

This initiative highlights the critical role of prehospital blood transfusions in improving trauma care, addressing key challenges such as logistics, training, and regulatory considerations. Through ongoing studies and shared experiences, the collaborative is working to refine strategies and overcome barriers to implementation.
Whether you’re involved in prehospital care, trauma system programs and development, or emergency medicine, this webinar will provide valuable insights into how this evolving practice is shaping the future of trauma care.
