In this trial, we found that 1/3 of admitted trauma patients had symptoms of depression & 40% of these patients kept a firearm in the home. This demonstrates that depression, suicide, & firearm access screening is feasible for admitted US trauma patients. journals.lww.com/jtrauma/abs…

Among injured patients meeting selected triage criteria, a time-savings of 15-20 minutes for air over ground transport was associated with a survival benefit. #HEMS @PittSurgery @pittTTMRC @PittEMSDocs @stat_medevac @AAMS @ETHOSDatabase journals.lww.com/jtrauma/abs…

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. @RaulCoimbraMD journals.lww.com/jtrauma/ful…
