JEMS Presents: Blood on Board: Prehospital Blood Product Administration in Action
Prehospital blood programs are no longer theoretical—they’re operational, expanding, and changing how we approach hemorrhagic shock. This panel brings together two physicians and an EMS chief who has successfully implemented a field blood program to bridge the gap between science and practice.
The discussion will explore the evidence behind early blood administration, the clinical decision-making that drives its use, and the real-world challenges of building and sustaining a program—from logistics and storage to training and system integration. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of what it takes to move from concept to capability, and whether prehospital blood is the next standard of care or a solution still searching for the right system fit.
