We had the privilege of presenting LifeFlow Challenge Coins to members of Atrium Health Navicent EMS who delivered extraordinary care in the field.
In one response, the crew cared for a patient involved in a rollover crash. The patient was found in critical condition with signs of severe polytrauma, poor perfusion, delayed capillary refill, and oxygen saturation of 78%. The team quickly initiated resuscitation with TXA, calcium, fentanyl, whole blood, and crystalloid fluids. The patient survived.
In another case, the team responded to a pedestrian struck by a vehicle who was exhibiting clear signs of hemorrhagic shock. Crews rapidly administered two units of whole blood using LifeFlow, stabilizing the patient’s condition and significantly improving vital signs before hospital arrival.
This is prehospital excellence in action. Thank you for your skill, speed, and dedication to saving lives.
