Over 30% of pediatric trauma patients who underwent long distance transfer from Montana to out-of-state Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Centers from 2013-2022 were preventable. This study highlights the need for a state-wide network to optimize care for injured children in Montana.

Mortality prediction models use vital signs to help benchmark hospital performance. The use of prehospital blood can improve vital signs on presentation and affect mortality prediction. Patients who receive prehospital blood are more likely to defy mortality prediction estimates.

Our review demonstrates that in exsanguinating trauma, delaying intubation to focus on rapid hemorrhage control and balanced transfusion improves survival. #TraumaCare #CAB #HemorrhageControl

Rural setting, Patient/Family Hospital Choice, & Falls were strong predictors of undertriage among injured patients meeting high-level triage criteria. Criteria was recognized in >2/3 of rural patients with under triage happening for other system factors.

This work presents new findings on the association between EMS level of training (Advanced Life Support vs Basic Life Support) in the prehospital sphere & mortality outcomes in trauma patients. We show an association with ALS level of training & survival

Changes have occurred in the resuscitation of trauma patients due to a better understanding of trauma-induced coagulopathy. Prehospital, in-hospital transfusions & adjuncts such as TXA, PCC, Calcium, & Fibrinogen/Cryo are now being used.

@myARDOT how long is the wall on I-630 going to look like a bombed highway in Fallujah?

Our data suggest that prioritization of prehospital transfusion improves survivability in patients with severe hemorrhage despite a modest increase in transport time.

In this prespecified subanalysis of the Prehospital TXA for TBI trial, an association between a 2g prehospital TXA bolus and decreased mortality in patients with intracranial hemorrhage was identified #TBI #TXA

The presence of trauma centers are key components of health equity, and save the lives of patients in at risk communities. When a county has a trauma center, the negative affects of social vulnerably are mitigated.

The Utah Pediatric Trauma Network successfully implemented abdominal injury guidelines, allowing non-pediatric hospitals to safely admit children with low grade solid organ injuries, while standardizing pediatric triage for blunt abdominal trauma in Utah.

In a population-based analysis of 3,141 US counties, longer predicted access time to trauma center care was associated with higher rates of MVC mortality.
