The effect of a clock ’s presence on trauma resuscitation times in a Dutch level-1 trauma center: a pre–post cohort analysis

ConclusionThis study found no significant reduction in trauma resuscitation time after clock placement. Nonetheless, the data represent a heterogeneous population, not excluding specific patient categories for whom literature has shown that a short time is essential, such as severely injured patients, might benefit from the presence of a trauma clock. Future research is recommended into resuscitation times of specific patient categories and practices to investigate time awareness.
