ITIM has published the following new resources:
- Freeze-dried plasma administration in trauma: an evidence report, which considers if freeze-dried plasma is a reasonable alternative to fresh-frozen plasma in traumatic critical bleeding.
- Major trauma in NSW: 2020-21: the latest data from the NSW Trauma Registry; for example, in 2020-21, there were more than 30,050 admissions for traumatic injuries in NSW, of which more than 3,900 were considered major trauma and admitted to a trauma service.
- Evaluation of road ambulance transports for trauma in NSW: road ambulance transport of severely injured patients is a critical component of the NSW trauma system. The aim of this analysis was to evaluate transport patterns and clinical outcomes associated with the NSW Ambulance Major Trauma (T1) Protocol and describe epidemiology and geospatial distribution of patients with a severe injury transported by road ambulance across NSW.
