Hello,
I thought that I would start a thread of simple but brilliant ideas that you are amazed that you haven't thought of but likely to take credit for! ;D
On the cover of a JEMS magazine (June or July I think) shows a picture of Boston EMS transporting a stabbing patient. The IV line was a blood tubing line for high flow fluids and of course blood. Simple. Brilliant. Numerous times I have taken down a gravity-set to hang a blood line for blood and to connect to the pressure infuser. Just use them as line in major trauma patients.
I our kit we carry blood lines. However, it requires a fair bit of effort to get to. (therefore never used!) So, we made them easier to get to in the medevac bags and are going to stock them on our ambulances soon.
