In contrast, automated counting ...

[ 2 ] - Pre-hospital time intervals in trauma patient transportation by emergency medical service: association with the first 24-hour mortality

Objective: Most previous retrospective studies failed to show a consistent association between pre-hospital time intervals and mortality in trauma patients, bringing the recommendation of “transport fast to increase survival” under question. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of response time, scene time, and transport time with 24-hour in-hospital mortality....

[ 3 ] - Association of base deficit with mortality in pediatric trauma

 Objective: To evaluate the association of base deficit (BD) with mortality in traumatized children, and to assess this association in a subgroup of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).   Methods: In this cross-sectional study performed prospectively on a convenience sample of patients under 16 years of age with trauma presenting to an academic lev...
