Cabell County in West Virginia has launched a pioneering pilot program that allows injured patients involved in traumatic incidents such as car accidents, shootings, and stabbings to receive blood on the scene of the incident.
The program aims to save more lives by providing blood to patients within minutes rather than waiting until they are transported to the hospital. This initiative is the first of its kind in West Virginia, with Cabell County EMS being one of only 116 agencies in the U.S. that have the capability to administer blood prior to hospitalization.
