Louisville EMS Saves Lives with On-Scene Blood | Louisville News

Louisville Metro EMS just shattered a life-saving milestone—administering 100 units of whole blood on the scene, giving 91 critically bleeding patients a fighting chance before reaching the hospital. Since launching last April, their pre-hospital blood program boasts an 88% survival rate, saving roughly 80 lives that might otherwise have been lost. This groundbreaking initiative, the first of its kind in the state, empowers paramedics to stabilize patients in those vital first moments—and now partners with UofL Hospital to ensure every unit, even those nearing expiration, reaches someone who needs it, whether in the field or ER.
