Abstract
An apparatus for treating a hemorrhaging wound and returning blood to the body includes at least one vacuum hose; tubing to return blood to the body; a reservoir to temporarily contain the blood, an ejectable filter between the vacuum hose and the reservoir, a temperature regulator to regulate the temperature in the reservoir; at least one pressure regulator connected to the at least one vacuum hose; a vacuum pump connected to the at least one pressure regulator, and an infusion pump connected to the tubing to return blood to the body. Blood is returned to the body via multi access catheter and/or consistent with present and future rapid infusion procedural methods that could change according to severity of injuries and the need for alternate vascular access points and/or infusion delivery protocols.
