2024 SAEMF/RAMS Resident Research Grant - $5,000
"Policies and Practice for Prehospital Blood Transfusion in the United States"
The goal of this project is to understand the policy and practice of prehospital blood transfusion in the U.S. This project will hopefully identify missed opportunities for transfusion so that we may next deploy focused interventions to increase prehospital transfusion rates in targeted geographic areas where patients may most benefit.
