The impact of prehospital time intervals on mortality in moderately and severely injured patients
CONCLUSION
A prolonged on-scene time is associated with mortality in moderately and severely injured patients, which suggests that a reduced on-scene time may be favorable for these patients. In addition, transport time was found not to be associated with mortality.
