Hi guys
I read somewhere, that some SF 18D carry sets for direct blood transfusion in field. From my point of view, it looks like really good idea, since only blood can carry oxygen, and if you have few more guys on group with same blood type (or O neg .....) and there is minimal risk of their injury (like long firefight, IED hazard,...) they should tolerate donation of few hundred ml. IIRC, the set contained bag for blood with anti-coagulant , some tubing, cross-test and transfusion sets... Do you have any experience/ info on that?
Thanks
