May is National Trauma Awareness Month. See how access to Pre-Hospital Transfusions can impact patient survival.
“Where you live should not determine if you live after an injury.” Last night, NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt featured a special investigation that shined a bright light on the lifesaving benefits of pre-hospital blood transfusion. The facts are clear: the faster a patient receives necessary care, the more likely they are to survive. One study found up to 5% increased odds of mortality for every minute of delay in access to blood. That’s why pre-hospital blood transfusion programs have been endorsed by a variety of national trauma and first responder organizations, including the American College of Surgeons, American College of Emergency Physicians, International Association of EMS Chiefs (IAEMSC), and National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP). Expanding access to pre-hospital blood transfusions will save lives. Yet, significant barriers stand in the way, including inadequate Medicare payments for blood used by Emergency Medical Services providers and inconsistent care due to differing state-based scope of practice requirements. But Congress can do something about it. Ask your members of Congress to make long-term reforms that would allow more patients to receive life-saving blood products before reaching a hospital: https://bit.ly/42XT2PZ #NationalTraumaAwarenessMonth

This Friday!!! Courageous Caleb’s Blood Drive at Maple City Chapel, March 1st will be held at 2015 Lincolnway E. Goshen, IN 46526 from 2:30-6:30pm. Caleb was diagnosed with Stage 4 high risk neuroblastoma in Feb 2017 at just 4 years old and this month marks his 7th year anniversary of his diagnosis. Neuroblastoma is cancer of the nervous system. He battled with neuroblastoma 3 times. He relapsed in Dec 2018 and Dec 2019. Caleb is currently on maintenance treatment and gets routine scans every 6 months. He is doing well. He plays the trombone and he runs cross country and such a strong boy. His courage, patience, and positive attitude in enduring countless medical treatments, some even painful, never cease to amaze his parents, Martin and Chika. When his mother was asked why blood drives are important to her, she mentioned “We can't even begin to count how many blood transfusions Caleb has had since February 2017. That blood brings him to life, gives him energy, and helps his body to fight the side effects of cancer treatment. It is a way for us to give back to honor and support Caleb and others who may need blood for their medical care.” Walk-ins are welcome during the blood drive or an appointment can be made at https://lnkd.in/e6rhFc8T
