Trauma Experience of a Rural Hospital

Lewis C. Zulick, MD; Patrick A. Dietz, MD; Kathleen Brooks, PAC

Arch Surg. 1991;126(11):1427-1430.


Abstract

• We sought to evaluate the ability of a small rural hospital with level 2 trauma capability to provide adequate care to the patient with multiple trauma. Using the TRISS method, we reviewed 163 patients with trauma admitted to our institution over 2 years. An outcome equivalent to those level 1 centers that contributed to the Major Trauma Outcome Study is documented. The clinical commitment and institutional resources necessary are discussed.
