C. Discussion Items

SSM Post-Partum Safety Initiative - Nancy Patrick

St. Mary’s shared information on their new Post-Birth Alert System. Initiative is to

increase awareness of the post-partum issues that can be experienced in the 6 weeks

following birth. Main goal is to decrease morbidity and mortality of birthing parents. This

program was implemented at St. Mary’s Madison January 1, 2025. Patients are educated

about the wrist band and how it is meant to alert EMS and other medical care providers

that the patient recently delivered a baby. Want to have continued education to EMS and

SSM Health providers on this initiative.

EMS Protocols Update

SSM and MEP don’t have any major updates. SSM Health’s Sauk County agencies will

begin carrying blood product, but protocols do not apply to Dane County agencies.

Currently there may be interest from agencies in carrying blood, but concern is more the

operational aspect of maintaining blood product, cost, etc. Can discuss at EMS

Association meeting and add to annual survey. UW protocols do not have any major

medical changes or updates; focus has been streamlining what already exists. TXA will

be kept to 1g for consistency; current data is not robust enough to support 2g dose

change. UW working on putting infant warming into Procedures of protocol book.

NAEMSP Conference

Blood in pre-hospital settings was a big topic. A lot of effort is being done nationally to

implement use in the field. Other topics included pre-hospital ultrasound use for trauma

patients, 911 call triaging, and Buprenorphine induction in the field.
