Why does London’s Air Ambulance carry blood?🩸

In the last few years, an average of 21 patients a month have needed a blood transfusion from our team.

When someone suffers major blood loss, every minute matters. Losing a significant amount of blood can cause blood pressure to fall and reduce the amount of oxygen reaching vital organs.

That’s why our doctors and paramedics carry blood with them, allowing them to treat life-threatening blood loss at the scene, before a patient reaches hospital.

It’s just one of the ways our team brings advanced trauma care directly to critically injured patients across London.

Several Londoners think the main purpose of London’s Air Ambulance helicopters is to collect patients from the scene of an incident and take them back to hospital.

But the role of our helicopters and rapid response cars is to get our advanced trauma team - consisting of a consultant, a doctor and a paramedic - to a patient’s side as quickly and as safely as possible, so that they can provide the complex care patients would get in hospital, at the scene.

They can do procedures such as: open chest surgery, blood transfusions, putting patients into an induced coma and reinflating collapsed lungs at the scene. Without these interventions, some patients would not make it to hospital alive.
