In this discussion with the Chief Medical Officer for Broward County Sheriff's Office Fire Rescue, Dr. Roach, we explore the use of Whole Blood, pre-hospital, for the Hemorrhagic Shock patient. This intervention is currently being used on the Sheriff's Office Air Rescue Unit. There are discussions taking place to expand the program in the future to ground units. Dr. Roach also briefly discusses the use of TXA for the Traumatic Brain Injury patient.
We also briefly discuss Heads-Up CPR and some emerging techniques.
