The current status of disaster preparedness in Canadian trauma centers
Mass casualty incidents (MCIs) put substantial stress on loco-regional resources, and trauma centers are critical to responding to these events. Our previous evaluation of Canadian centers helped to identify several weaknesses in disaster responsiveness. In this analysis, we determined the current state of MCI readiness across Canada and how this has changed over time. A multinational cross-sectional survey-based study on MCI preparedness was performed, including 24 Canadian trauma centers. Surveys were completed anonymously online by representatives of each facility. Responses from Canadian centers were examined and compa...

Maintaining a high inspired oxygen fraction with the Elisée 350 turbine transport ventilator connected to two portable oxygen concentrators in an austere environment
CONCLUSION The ability of two OCs to deliver high FiO2 when used with a turbine ventilator makes this method of oxygen delivery a viable alternative to cylinders to ventilate patients requiring an FiO2 of ≥80% in austere place or during disaster response. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Feasibility study on test bench, level V. (Source: Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery)

Cone-beam computed tomography for trauma
Radiographic imaging is critical in helping guide treatment of critically injured patients. Cone-beam computed tomography is an axial imaging technique available from fixed imaging systems found in hybrid operating rooms. It can be used to provide focused studies of specific anatomical regions, where patients cannot undergo conventional multidetector computed tomography. This includes non–contrast-enhanced evaluation of the intracranial contents and vascular imaging throughout the body. There are a number of advantages and disadvantages to cone-beam computed tomography, but these are not widely discussed within the traum...

The use of warm fresh whole blood transfusion in the austere setting: A civilian trauma experience
CONCLUSION Warm fresh whole blood use is safe and feasible in an austere civilian trauma setting. Prospective studies with larger cohorts are necessary to determine whether early WFWB use will affect patient outcomes, transfusion requirement, and treatment cost.

Into the wild and on to the table: A Western Trauma Association multicenter analysis and comparison of wilderness falls in rock climbers and nonclimbers
CONCLUSION Wilderness falls represent a unique population with distinct patterns of predominantly soft tissue, head, and lower extremity injury. Climbers are younger, usually male, more often discharged home, and require more surgery but less critical care. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Epidemiological, Level IV.
