Summary

Direct operating room (OR) resuscitation effectively identifies critically injured patients. This protocol shortens time to incision for trauma patients, improving survival rates through timely surgical intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Surgical Critical Care

Background:

  • Direct operating room (OR) admission can reduce time to incision.
  • A protocol for OR resuscitation was developed.
  • Triage criteria included cardiac arrest, refractory hypotension, and uncontrolled hemorrhage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the accuracy of triage criteria for identifying patients needing immediate operation.
  • To assess the impact of OR resuscitation on patient outcomes.
  • To compare observed survival with predicted survival.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 11 years of OR resuscitation cases.
  • Analysis of patient triage based on established criteria.
  • Comparison of survival rates with scene-based probability of survival.

Main Results:

  • Patients undergoing OR resuscitation were more likely to require major operations.
  • 146 of 170 patients (85.9%) with penetrating trauma and hypotension required major surgery.
  • Time to incision was reduced by 21.7-67.5 minutes for patients receiving OR resuscitation.

Conclusions:

  • Field triage criteria reliably identify patients needing immediate major operative intervention.
  • Direct OR admission facilitates timely surgical procedures for critically injured patients.
  • This approach improves the initiation of emergency surgical care.
