Podcast #410: FAmbulance

Author: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Retrospective study looking at type of transportation and mortality outcomes for patients with penetrating trauma
  • Mortality was 2.2 % for those brought in by private vehicle compared to 11.6% by EMS

Editor's note: the above is raw mortality - even after risk adjustments the odds ratio of death was statistically significant for penetrating injuries, which held true even over multiple trauma systems. Shout out to Dr Haut as well!
