"The advantage of the direct transfusion of human blood in cases of severe haemorrhage which we encounter in the emergencies of military surgery cannot to our minds, be overestimated." 1
The above comment, from a paper presented by Lieutenant Colonel A. Primrose of the Canadian army Medical Corps in 1916, remains as pertinent today as during those earlier days of military transfusion medicine...
The Field Blood Transfusion Kit (FBTK) Recipient Module from North American Rescue provides all the needed supplies to document blood type, ensuring compatibility for the recipient, as well as deliver blood transfusions in the field. As part of the NAR Prolonged Field or Casualty Care portfolio, this critical capability equipment set is available separately in this Recipient Module, or in the full FBTK set that contains both Donor and Recipient Modules. All of the supplies conform to the Joint Theater Trauma System Clinical Practice Guidelines.
