Ten months after Bridgeport Hospital launched its lifesaving prehospital blood transfusion program, the hospital is making even more investment in the program. Bridgeport Hospital is providing new, upgraded coolers for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) agencies to store the blood that paramedics need to administer blood transfusions directly in their ambulances at the point of care. The $40,000 investment was made thanks to the Bridgeport Hospital Foundation.

“Maintaining the safety and integrity of every unit of blood has always been our top priority,” said Edward Snyder, MD, director of the Blood Bank at Bridgeport Hospital. “With advances in technology, we’ve upgraded how we store and monitor blood products, strengthening the chain of custody with more precise, real-time temperature tracking for every unit. These updated coolers enhance our ability to see exactly where blood is and confirm it remains within strict clinical standards at all times, even in challenging field conditions. The result is greater efficiency, improved oversight and the confidence that blood is optimally preserved and immediately ready for transfusion when EMS teams reach a patient.”

The Bridgeport Hospital Blood Bank provides EMS teams, as available, with one unit of group O-positive red blood cells for use in the field. In the short time this program has been running, a dozen blood transfusions have been administered in the field.

Today, younger individuals – both men and women under age 50 – are being diagnosed with colon or colore**al cancer. It’s a disturbing trend that is raising more questions than answers.
“Unfortunately, we are seeing more and more young patients with a diagnosis of colon and re**al cancer, not only in our practice but across the country as well,” said Daniel Lavy, MD, a colore**al surgeon at Bridgeport Hospital and assistant professor of Surgery at Yale School of Medicine. “The ‘younger population’ includes those individuals diagnosed under the age of 50.”
Today, the lifetime risk of developing colore**al cancer is 1 in 23 for men and 1 in 25 for women, so men in this younger population have a slightly higher incidence of mortality when compared with women in the same age group.
“It is important to note that both sexes are at significant risk of developing colon and re**al cancer,” he said.

If there’s one thing Philip Hynes of Shelton wants people to know, it’s this: Don’t be afraid of a colonoscopy. It might save your life.

Hynes already knows the excuses people make when putting off a medical procedure or appointment: I’m too busy. It might hurt. I feel fine, so why do I need to go? He used some of those excuses himself.

“I wasn’t avoiding it out of fear,” he said. “It just wasn’t a priority – until suddenly it was a priority.”

The Connecticut Burn Center at Bridgeport Hospital - the state’s only burn center - provides lifesaving, highly specialized care that no other facility can replace. Its constant readiness supports not just individual patients, but the state’s entire emergency response system.

Despite this statewide responsibility, the burn center is funded as a local service. As detailed in our op‑ed, Connecticut must recognize the burn center’s role as part of the state’s critical emergency infrastructure and invest in it accordingly. Through increased Medicaid reimbursement, bonding support and an ongoing state partnership, our legislature can act now to ensure this resource remains ready and accessible to every resident and first responder. http://ynh.care/1dh
