Episode Details

Botetourt County Fire & EMS is revolutionizing emergency care by carrying whole blood on their vehicles—making them one of just a handful nationwide to do so. Trained Critical Care Supervisors will respond to severe trauma cases, delivering life-saving transfusions right at the scene or en route to the hospital, slashing critical wait times. This bold move targets the leading cause of death after traumatic injuries: uncontrolled bleeding. With specialized coolers and close collaboration with medical teams, the program aims to expand to a second vehicle, dramatically improving access and outcomes across the county.
