Date
March 4, 2021 - 8:30am to 10:00amEvent Description
Presenter: Dr. Joshua Brown
Dr. Brown's lab group broadly studies prehospital trauma care delivery in trauma systems. Focus areas include the role of air medical transport after trauma, geospatial organization of prehospital resources in trauma systems, prehospital resuscitation strategies, and field triage. This talk will focus on a line of work Dr. Brown has been conducting for several years to develop an evidence-based approach to air medical triage, as well as exploring new avenues of organizing air medical and other prehospital resources at a system level.
Background reading:
- Geospatial assessment of helicopter emergency medical service overtriage
- Logistics of air medical transport: When and where does helicopter transport reduce prehospital time for trauma?
- Distance matters: Effect of geographic trauma system resource organization on fatal motor vehicle collisions
- Development and Validation of the Air Medical Prehospital Triage Score for Helicopter Transport of Trauma Patients
