West Valley City is Leading the Way in Utah! đź’Ş

The West Valley City Fire Department just became the first in Utah to deliver whole blood transfusions on scene — giving trauma patients a fighting chance before they even reach the hospital.

🎥 Watch the inspiring story here: https://youtu.be/0xyGwyBqEaU?si=dtY5KCLu6go1PstU

Why This Matters

🚨Every minute counts — Patients in hemorrhagic shock waste valuable time waiting for transfusions.
đź’‰Whole blood in the field restores volume, oxygen, and clotting factors immediately.
🏥 This program, in partnership with Intermountain Health, is transforming trauma response in Utah.
🔥 It’s the first of its kind statewide — and sets a new national standard for prehospital blood programs.

👏 Congratulations to the teams at West Valley City Fire Department and Intermountain Health for leading the charge.

Your innovation is saving lives — and demonstrating what’s possible when EMS, hospitals, and technology collaborate.

Here’s your answer — because this question always comes up with medics:

How much does the temperature actually drop through the IV tubing during a blood transfusion?

A new peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Special Operations Medicine finally quantified it. Even at room temperature, blood loses around 6–7°C as it travels through the line. In cold or austere environments, that loss can reach 25–30°C — enough to turn warm, life-saving blood into a cold transfusion by the time it reaches the patient.

The research (“Mitigating Heat Loss in IV Tubing During Austere Blood Transfusions” – Foust & Homan, JSOM, Sept 2025) measured up to 40 watts of heat loss at 20°C and 168 watts at –39°C.

What it means in extreme cold conditions ❄️

🔥 Start warm: Heat the blood at the bag before it ever enters the line.

⚡ Stay warm: Use an inline blood warmer, like a "kicker," near the patient to help maintain blood temperature.

đź§Ł Protect your setup: Shorten IV tubing and insulate wherever possible.

Even small changes make a big difference when seconds and degrees count.

Start warm. Stay warm. Finish warm.

Journal of Special Operations Medicine

Significant heat loss occurs through IV tubing during blood transfusions in cold austere environments. Mathematical models suggest that thermal insulation around the IV tubing and reducing overall tubing length could effectively mitigate these losses.
