The Basics - Blood Donation and Transfusion

Today, I'm joined by Brad, a former special operations medic and instructor, to talk about a harrowing experience during a night raid in Afghanistan. They faced a barricade shooter situation and multiple casualties. Despite the danger, their medical training and preparedness shone through. Brad emphasizes the importance of casualty training and incorporating it into every mission. They stress the need for repetition and selecting the right equipment for efficient treatment. The podcast covers various medical aspects, and Brad commends the use of 16-gauge catheters and pressure infuser pumps for better blood flow and control. Remember, be prepared, train well, and stay on the bleeding edge of combat medicine!
