Cobb County Fire's
Pre-Hospital
Blood Transfusion
Program
.jpg)
Cobb County Fire and Emergency Services launched its Pre-Hospital Blood Transfusion in February 2025. Building Strong Horizon's 2025 Profound Impact was awarded to F.E./Paramedic Kleiman and F.F./Paramedic LaPrade for saving multiple lives within the first month of launching the program.
​​
In its first four months of operation, the existing single unit treated over 40 trauma patients, saved over 30 lives, and enabled 2 organ donations. Adding a second unit will double capacity, reduce response times to under 20 minutes, and strengthen trauma care across Cobb County.
​
Building Strong Horizons is spearheading operations to expand Cobb Fire's Pre-Hospital Blood Transfusion program. Cobb Fire has a long term goal of having 5 units strategically placed throughout Cobb County. ​
​
​BSH​ has nicknamed these units LIFE "LIFE" LIMA-INDIA-FOXTROT-ECHO

LifeFlow Blood and Fluid Infuser
The LifeFlow Blood and Fluid Infuser is a hand-operated, portable infuser for rapid delivery of blood, blood components, and other resuscitative fluids. It requires minimal setup and training, is quickly deployed and can deliver reliable, consistent, pressure of fluids to critically ill patients.
Compatible with the QinFlow Warrior lite Blood Warmer
Can deliver a unit of blood or 500mL of fluid in 2-minutes
Faster than a pressure bag, gravity, or a push-pull syringe
Reduces contamination risk
Warrior Lite Fluid Warmer
High performance, yet compact and lightweight, the Warrior lite is an optimal configuration for space and weight restricted rescue teams, first responders, emergency medical services (EMS), helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS), and critical care transport teams.
The Warrior lite offers two battery options for optimal operational fit: the lite battery (170ml/minute; up to 1.3 liters of cold-stored blood or blood components and 2.5 liters of room temperature fluids; 800g Base Unit and battery weight) and Extra Power Battery (180ml/minute; up to 3 liters of cold-stored blood and 5 liters of room temperature IV fluids; 1.09kg Base Unit and battery weight). The Extra Power Battery is ideal when there is a requirement for warming an exceptional volume of blood or fluids, which may be experienced during prolonged transports, back-to-back calls, or events involving multiple critically-injured casualties.
