The study showed that severely injured patients admitted to a Level I trauma center require less time to normalize their vital functions compared to Level II trauma centers. In Level I centers, patients also spend less time in the emergency department and until a CT scan, and have a lower complication rate.
PurposeIn the Netherlands, approximately 70% of severely injured patients (ISS >= 16) are transported directly to a Level I trauma center. This study compared the time needed to return to normal vital parameters and normal acid-base status in severely injured patients and some in-hospital processes in Level I versus Level II trauma centers.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included all adult severely injured patients or adult trauma patients admitted to the intensive care unit between 2015 and 2020 in a Dutch trauma region. The primary endpoint was time until normal vital parameters and acid-base status. Secondary endpoints were complication rate, hospital length of stay, emergency department length of stay, and time until a computed tomography (CT) scan.ResultsA total of 2345 patients were included. Patients admitted to a Level I trauma center had a significantly higher rate of normalization of vital parameters over time (HR 1.51). There was no significant difference in normalization rate of the acid-base status over time (HR 1.10). In Level I trauma centers, time spent at the emergency department and time until the CT scan was significantly shorter (respectively, beta - 38 min and beta - 77 min), and the complication rate was significantly lower (OR 0.35).ConclusionSeverely injured patients admitted to a Level I trauma center require less time to normalize their vital functions. Level I centers are better equipped, resulting in better in-hospital processes with shorter time at the emergency department and shorter time until a CT scan.
