Concept of Blood Supply in the Army of the Czech Republic - New Field Transfusion Unit

Original language description

Blood substitution and blood supply are permanent strategic and logistic problems of military medical services across the world arising from the blood, which is a biological drug, has a limited shelf life and needs a special conditions for transport and use. The availability of sufficient blood is the crucial issue of military medical service, because exsanguinating haemorrhage is the major cause of death in military operations. The concept of blood supply of the Army of the Czech Republic (ACR) field hospitals (FH) operating in foreign missions was based on periodic delivery of blood products, usually in four-week intervals with use of supply flights. Based on long-term experience, there emerged a requirement for more robust blood supply of troops. In 2011 – 2013, the special field transfusion unit (FTU) has been developed. FTU integrates all known and accessible possibilities of blood and blood products supply: 1/ Delivery and storage of blood products through a periodic supplies from the territory, 2/ Stock of frozen blood products (RBC, PLT and plasma) with a possibility of their thawing and reconstitution, 3/ Blood collection in a place of deployment, use of the fresh whole blood or a possibility of RBC and plasma production for consequent storage. ACR FTU, together with the ACR field lab unit, is currently the most complex solution for securing a healthy supply of blood and blood products during field operations within the NATO countries.
