The Excellence in Pre-hospital Injury Care, or EPIC, project turned traumatic brain injury training upside down for paramedics and EMTs in Arizona.

Now, 11,000 of them use the simple procedure, which has doubled survival rates, according to a study report out in May.

In Heathy Living, Courtney Hunter tells us about one paramedic who used it to save her own son’s life.

The EPIC study was funded with a $3.6 million NIH grant.

Dr. Spaite says many EMS systems in other states are implementing the protocol, which is available online.

He’s even getting calls from Europe and Australia.
