About

This EMS Focus webinar describes how giving blood to patients before they reach the hospital can save lives in emergencies. EMS teams are learning new ways to carry and use blood during transport, which helps people who have lost a lot of blood from injuries or illness. The webinar speakers share information about why prehospital blood is important, how it works, and what EMS workers need to know.
