Prehospital Transfusion Program
Prehospital Transfusion Program
Prehospital Transfusion Program
Overview
NCTTRAC has developed a regional system performance improvement initiative to make the prehospital administration of blood products available from the point of injury and/or medical need to the delivery of definitive care. Eligible DSHS licensed EMS within TSA-E may apply to become a NCTTRAC prehospital transfusion provider site. If selected, NCTTRAC will purchase an approved dollar amount of pre-identified prehospital transfusion equipment to assist an EMS agency in becoming a prehospital transfusion provider site. The selected agency must complete all prescribed program requirements before receiving program assets
