About This Course

Prehospital blood programs are growing fast, but many agencies still lack a clear, standardized approach for prehospital transfusion and field transfusion. This can lead to inconsistent transfusion protocols, uneven documentation and quality assurance, and higher risk during blood product transfusion in high-stress calls. The Advanced Damage Control Resuscitation and Prehospital Transfusion (ADaPT) course was built to close that gap by giving EMS teams and leaders practical, evidence-based training on Damage Control Resuscitation (DCR), hemorrhagic shock, and trauma resuscitation, including safe blood product administration EMS workflows and program readiness for EMS blood operations.

Co-developed by North American Rescue Training (NAR-T) and the Trauma Hemostasis and Oxygenation Research Network (THOR), this immersive three-day course blends foundational science, hands-on skills, and EMS simulation training to support real-world prehospital trauma care across trauma and non-trauma patients, including pediatric and geriatric considerations. Day 3 adds the systems and compliance focus agencies need to sustain safe programs, including key AABB and FDA requirements and operational best practices for high-reliability blood operations, with considerations for products such as low-titer O whole blood (LTOWB) where applicable to local protocol.
