High-IR-utilization trauma centers had lower mortality (aOR 0.60), transfusion (aOR 0.51) & complications (aOR 0.73) vs high-op centers in blunt solid organ injury.

Palliative care screening at a level I trauma center improved documentation, reduced ICU and hospital stays, and when initiated early decreased tracheostomy and enteral access procedures, supporting goal-concordant care.

Our study explores predictors of delayed ICH progression following blunt trauma and identifies patients who may benefit from closer monitoring and more liberal repeat CT imaging beyond the initial 48 hours.

Analysis of the 2024 NEMSIS database found that only 0.32% of >817,000 hemodynamically unstable trauma patients received prehospital blood products, with >4-fold regional variation (0.14–0.63%). Opportunities remain to improve equitable trauma care.

SAP patients demonstrate markedly elevated levels of CPB1 and resistance to fibrinolysis that is rescued with addition of a CPB1 inhibitor. Could CPB1 be targeted to reduce thromboembolic risk in SAP?

In 113 trauma pts w/ BCVI, repeat CTA within ~3 days showed low-grade injuries (I-II) often improved, while high-grade (III-IV) mostly persisted. Early reimaging can guide antithrombotic therapy.
