A novel streamlined trauma response team training improves imaging efficiency for pediatric blunt abdominal trauma patients

Abstract

Abstract

Background/purpose

The morbidity and mortality of children with traumatic injuries are directly related to the time to definitive management of their injuries. Imaging studies are used in the trauma evaluation to determine the injury type and severity. The goal of this project is to determine if a formal streamlined trauma response improves efficiency in pediatric blunt trauma by evaluating time to acquisition of imaging studies and definitive management.

Methods

This study is a chart review of patients
