The Impact of Prehospital Transport Mode on Mortality of Penetrating Trauma Patients
2020, Air Medical JournalEvery minute counts: The impact of pre-hospital response time and scene time on mortality of penetrating trauma patients
2020, American Journal of SurgeryCitation Excerpt :However, such findings suggest that policy changes that improve EMS reach to injured patients, as well as a “scoop and run” strategy could significantly impact the ability to rescue penetrating injury trauma patients. Multiple previous studies showed results from a single institution, included undifferentiated trauma patients, were limited due to residual confounding or low number of patients, did not find a significant correlation between prehospital time and mortality after accounting for the severity of injuries, or were from a single geographical region.7–23 In a study of one regional trauma center, Lerner et al. found no significant correlation between total prehospital transport time and mortality.24
Prehospital times and outcomes of patients who had hypotension at the scene after trauma: A nationwide multicentre retrospective study
2020, InjuryCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, the relationship between prehospital times and patient outcomes following injury remains controversial. Some studies have revealed the relationship between earlier transport to the hospital and increased survival [2–9], whereas other studies reported no such association [9–18] or even decreased survival among patients who were transported early [17,19]. These conflicting results may be explained by limitations of the previous studies, including various time intervals, demographic differences of the patients, insufficient adjustment for confounding variables, and small sample sizes.
Emergency medical services out-of-hospital scene and transport times and their association with mortality in trauma patients presenting to an urban level i trauma center
2013, Annals of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :This study is the first to our knowledge to analyze data spanning more than a decade, including close to 20,000 patients, with specific aims to evaluate the association between out-of-hospital times and mortality in the urban setting. Our results are consistent with those of previous studies supporting the argument that minimizing out-of-hospital times is considered beneficial for survival.1-2,18,19 Two studies by Sampalis et al20,21 found that increased out-of-hospital times were associated with increased mortality among seriously injured trauma patients.
