Delaware officials are highlighting the state’s Prehospital Whole Blood program in the latest installment of the Ambassador of Safety video series. The program allows paramedics and State Police aviation teams to administer whole blood to seriously injured patients at the scene of an emergency. Delaware is the first state in the nation where all prehospital paramedics and aviation teams have access to whole blood in the field.
