EMS Research: Severe Hemorrhage Technology Developed by Military Researchers

 

Severe hemorrhage is one of the toughest challenges faced in the prehospital environment, especially when every second counts and resources are limited. But a recent study on the use of 25% human serum albumin (HSA) in trauma care could change how responders approach these critical moments.

The study was led by United States Air Force Scientist Alex Penn, PhD. The findings from his team suggest that this concentrated protein solution can stabilize blood pressure, reduce the need for additional fluids, and improve circulation in ways traditional methods cannot. For paramedics, this could mean a shelf-stable, easy-to-use solution that saves more lives in the toughest conditions, revolutionizing pre-hospital care as we know it.
