[Reduction of treatment time for children in the trauma room care : Impact of implementation of an interdisciplinary trauma room concept (iTRAPS)].

CONCLUSION: Besides a well-organized trauma team, it is essential that the trauma room workflow is adapted to the specific structure of the hospital. Despite the limitations of the study the data demonstrate that the trauma room workflow enables an efficient management. By the interdisciplinary reorganization of the pediatric trauma room treatment with improved structures and standardized processes, patient care was more effective with a significant reduction in the time required for trauma room treatment. The suggested iTRAPS concept could be used as a framework to establish individualized workflows for pediatric trauma room treatment in other hospitals. This algorithm should be supplemented by standardized operating procedures (SOPs) for the differentiated radiological diagnostic procedures in areas of traumatic brain injury (TBI), thoracic and abdominal trauma in children.
