    Area of Science:

    • Emergency Medicine
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Prehospital Care

    Context:

    • 123 trauma patients received prehospital advanced life support over 16 years.
    • Traffic accidents were the primary cause of injuries in 83% of cases.
    • The median Injury Severity Score was 23, indicating severe trauma.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of prehospital advanced life support in trauma patients.
    • To determine the impact of interventions like intubation and intravenous infusions on survival.
    • To recommend the expansion of advanced life support services for trauma cases.

    Summary:

    • 55 patients were deceased upon arrival of the mobile intensive care unit.
    • Among 63 treated patients, common critical conditions included respiratory failure (27), shock (23), and unconsciousness (35).
    • Life-saving interventions were administered to 24 patients, resulting in 6 survivors.

    Impact:

    • The study suggests that advanced prehospital life support can be life-saving for severely injured trauma patients.
    • Results support the extension of advanced prehospital care protocols to include all trauma patients.
    • Improved prehospital interventions may reduce mortality and enhance outcomes in severe trauma.
