Put Whole Blood on Your Ambulances. Grady EMS (Atlanta) is the latest example of a pre-hospital deployment of whole blood. 4 units administered in a 12 hour period and 12 units in one week! Whole blood is here. Get it done. bit.ly/3TVn99e
#ICYMI: Watch the recording of this week's town hall with NAEMSP President @cabanasmd, @OberlanderUNC, Dr. Paul Hinchey (@UHhospitals), Larry McMillan (@WakeCountyEMS), @amerambassoc President Randy Strozyk, @GradyMED1 (Grady EMS) & @krollomd (@WUSTL_EM): bit.ly/3ZTOitA
NAEMSP especially recognizes @HamlinIsland himself, who has partnered with @American_Heart to encourage everyone to learn CPR via this 60-second video & potentially save a life: vimeo.com/798409756 #HFWeek2023

First responders may resist participating in a debriefing or peer support following a difficult call, but they will always remember the times it was never offered to them in the first place.
Bystander CPR can double or triple the survival rate from sudden cardiac arrest, but less than 1/3 of SCA patients receive CPR before first responders arrive. Thank you to @HamlinIsland & @American_Heart for spreading the word. abcn.ws/3jlmdeC #CPRwithHeart #HeartMonth
