The UCLA Center for Prehospital Care offers EMS education for EMTs, paramedics, phlebotomists, nurses

Join us next Monday for this month’s Clinical Journal Club, as we examine a pragmatic, multicenter trial involving whole blood and trauma patients at risk for hemorrhagic shock. When whole blood goes head-to-head with traditional blood components, does it translate into better outcomes, and does the age of stored whole blood matter?

We’ll unpack the trial, explore what the findings mean for prehospital trauma care, and the growing number of EMS systems carrying blood. Register free: https://ow.ly/F1bj5103HfJ

In the next Journal Club—on Monday, October 12, we examine a multicenter randomized clinical trial comparing conservative and liberal oxygen strategies in more than 1,800 unresponsive adults following cardiac arrest. After return of spontaneous circulation, how much is enough? Could limiting oxygen exposure reduce reperfusion injury and improve recovery, or does a more conservative approach introduce risks of its own? Investigators looked beyond simply achieving ROSC or surviving hospitalization, examining favorable functional outcomes at 180 days.

Join us as we unpack the evidence, consider what post-arrest oxygen targets mean across the continuum of resuscitation care, and tackle a question that sounds simple until you dig into the science: after ROSC, how much oxygen is enough? https://ow.ly/h7AC50ZVQJJ
