Great week for teletrauma research and future directions!
First, in collaboration with Dr. Camargo's team @MassGeneralEM we asked:
What proportion of US emergency departments reported using telehealth for trauma (teletrauma) in 2020?
Answer: 8%

Some snapshots of our faculty sharing their trauma expertise at the annual @acsTrauma meeting right here in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. John Holcomb, @ZainHashmiMD, and of course the outgoing COT Chair, @KerbyJD_UAB.

Grateful for awesome mentorship - thank you Russell Woo, @ZainHashmiMD, @sgkeswani, and @AmCollSurgeons Board of Governors Telehealth Workgroup. Continuing to work on how we can measure telemedicine in surgery to optimize care and resource allocation 👩🏻💻🩺
ACS (@AmCollSurgeons)-led consensus framework outlines how to define and measure quality in surgical telemedicine, applying the Donabedian model across pre-, intra-, and postoperative care to help standardize evaluation, guide implementation, and support equitable surgical access.

This national survey of 4,512 US emergency departments EDs (81% response) found that 8% (n=379) reported using telehealth for trauma (teletrauma) in 2020; most of these EDs were located in rural areas. ja.ma/47C1WGy

So glad to see this it out! I can’t believe this all started with a spotlight session in 2023, then co-moderators in 2024! 🤩Awesome work by all and thanks to @acsJACS for the digital platform to discuss the future of teletrauma
Next, a special article in @acsJACS by the members of the @acsTrauma Teletrauma Spotlight Session Workgroup highlighting the potential, current challenges and future directions for teletrauma implementation

Two of our @UABTrauma surgeons, @KerbyJD_UAB & John Holcomb, make the research - and battlefield -backed case for why #wholeblood should be available on ambulances nationwide. 🚑🩸
@UABSurgery @UABHeersink @UABEmergencyMed @bhamfirerescue @EMSdocFerg
Doctors and first responders are sounding the alarm on a critical lifeline that most ambulances don’t have. As @CynthiaMcFadden reports, they say it could save tens of thousands of lives a year.

"Preferentially transfusing whole blood vs balanced blood component transfusion strategy during the early resuscitation was associated with decreased 4 and 24-hour mortality and decreased transfusion requirements in severely injured patients"
