🪖🪖Severe Hemorrhage Technology Developed by Army Researchers

About this episode

This episode discusses a study on the use of 25% human serum albumin in trauma care led by Army Scientist Alex Penn, Ph.D.

Severe hemorrhage is one of the toughest challenges faced in the pre-hospital environment, especially when every second counts and resources are limited. But a recent study on the use of 25% human serum albumin (HSA) in trauma care could change how responders approach these critical moments. The study was led by United States Army Scientist Alex Penn, Ph.D. The findings from his team suggest that this concentrated protein solution can stabilize blood pressure, reduce the need for additional f...
