Institute of Trauma and Injury Management

• The Institute of Trauma and Injury Management (ITIM) has recommenced its trauma evenings across NSW. These are being run as hybrid events – online and in person. Last year some events attracted almost 1,000 attendees. View upcoming trauma education events
• We have started to deliver Abbreviated Injury Scale training virtually, with two upcoming sessions planned. ITIM holds the licence for this trauma-coding course, which is delivered throughout Australasia. We are seeking expressions of interest to set up more courses. This is relevant to data collection and identifying local trends and the need for education. Email ITIM to express your interest: ACI-Trauma@health.nsw.gov.au
• We have released a Fibrinogen administration in prehospital trauma evidence report. It considers if fibrinogen concentrate is a reasonable alternative to allogeneic products in the prehospital setting, by examining the literature on:
  • patient mortality
  • intensive care unit length of stay
  • safety
  • need for additional blood products
  • storage
  • administration
  • costs.
