The SPARC concept was developed by trauma care providers and researchers who sought new ways of improving trauma survival through improved hemorrhage control and resuscitation closer to the point of injury. See the original article in Shock here.

The SPARC Academy is a group of paramedics, nurses, physicians, and EMS leaders who have implemented these principles in their own trauma systems and are passionate about helping others improve trauma survival through innovative approaches to  hemorrhage control and resuscitation as close to the point of injury as possible.
