Brief description
While the “golden hour” and the “platinum 10 minutes” have been described in the literature, standardized benchmarks for high-quality trauma resuscitation remain undefined—particularly for critically injured hypotensive patients with penetrating torso injuries.
This project leverages Trauma Video Review (TVR) to define normative performance metrics, establish benchmarks, and correlate variability in trauma resuscitation processes with patient outcomes. Video review of hypotensive (<90 mmHg), penetrating trauma patients with non-compressible torso hemorrhage will be used to capture the timing and sequencing of key interventions, including patient arrival, handoff, vascular access, FAST examination, adherence to ATLS principles, procedure timing, and trauma bay disposition.
