Learning Outcomes
1. Following this presentation, the participant will be able to describe why on-site blood donation (Walking Blood Bank, WBB) is life-preserving when cold-stored whole blood is not readily available to treat the traumatically wounded warfighter in austere environments.
2. Following this presentation, the participant will be able to discuss the importance of filling donor blood bags to the 450mL±10% target volume, including the complications from under-filling or over-filling donor blood bags.
3. Following this presentation, the participant will be able to describe the ruler designed to foster accurate target fill volumes, as well as the proper application of the ruler.
4. Following this presentation, the participant will be able to discuss the implications of standardizing the use of the ruler on reliably filling donor blood bags to the target volume, all towards preserving the life of the traumatically wounded warfighter in need of rapid and safe WBB transfusion.
