Abstract: Background: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is still ongoing and a major challenge for health care services worldwide. In the first WSES COVID-19 emergency surgery survey, a strong negative impact on emergency surgery (ES) had been described already early in the pandemic situation. However, the knowledge is limited about current effects of the pandemic on patient flow through emergency rooms, daily routine and decision making in ES as well as their changes over time during the last two pandemic years. This second WSES COVID-19 emergency surgery survey investigates the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on ES during the course of the pandemic. Methods: A web survey had been distributed to medical specialists in ES during a four-week period from January 2022, investigating the impact of the pandemic on patients and septic diseases both requiring ES, structural problems due to the pandemic and time-to-intervention in ES routine. Results: 367 collaborators from 59 countries responded to the survey. The majority indicated that the pandemic still significantly impacts on treatment and outcome of surgical emergency patients (83.1% and 78.5%, respectively). As reasons, the collaborators reported decreased case load in ES (44.7%), but patients presenting with more prolonged and severe diseases, especially concerning perforated appendicitis (62.1%) and diverticulitis (57.5%). Otherwise, approximately 50% of the participants still observe a delay in time-to-intervention in ES compared with the situation before the pandemic. Relevant causes leading to enlarged time-to-intervention in ES during the pandemic are persistent problems with in-hospital logistics, lacks in medical staff as well as operating room and intensive care capacities during the pandemic. This leads not only to the need for triage or transferring of ES patients to other hospitals, reported by 64.0% and 48.8% of the collaborators, respectively, but also to paradigm shifts in treatment modalities to non-operative approach

Abstract: Introduction: Quality in medical care must be measured in order to be improved. Trauma management is part of health care, and by definition, it must be checked constantly. The only way to measure quality and outcomes is to systematically accrue data and analyze them. Material and methods: A systematic revision of the literature about quality indicators in trauma associated to an international consensus conference Results: An internationally approved base core set of 82 trauma quality indicators was obtained: Indicators were divided into 6 fields: prevention, structure, process, outcome, post-traumatic management, and society integrational effects. Conclusion: Present trauma quality indicator core set represents the result of an international effort aiming to provide a useful tool in quality evaluation and improvement. Further improvement may only be possible through international trauma registry development. This will allow for huge international data accrual permitting to evaluate results and compare outcomes.

Material and methods A systematic revision of the literature about quality indicators in trauma associated to an international consensus conference Results An internationally approved base core set of 82 trauma quality indicators was obtained: Indicators were divided into 6 fields: prevention, structure, process, outcome, post-traumatic management, and society integrational effects. Conclusion Present trauma quality indicator core set represents the result of an international effort aiming to provide a useful tool in quality evaluation and improvement. Further improvement may only be possible through international trauma registry development. This will allow for huge international data accrual permitting to evaluate results and compare outcomes.

Abstract: Aim The aim of this study was to use a simulation model developed for the scientific evaluation of methodology in disaster medicine to test surge capacity (SC) in a major hospital responding to a simulated major incident with a scenario copied from a real incident. Methods The tested hospital was illustrated on a system of magnetic boards, where available resources, staff, and patients treated in the hospital at the time of the test were illustrated. Casualties were illustrated with simulation cards supplying all data required to determine procedures for diagnosis and treatment, which all were connected to real consumption of time and resources. Results The first capacity-limiting factor was the number of resuscitation teams that could work parallel in the emergency department (ED). This made it necessary to refer severely injured to other hospitals. At this time, surgery (OR) and intensive care (ICU) had considerable remaining capacity. Thus, the reception of casualties could be restarted when the ED had been cleared. The next limiting factor was lack of ventilators in the ICU, which permanently set the limit for SC. At this time, there was still residual OR capacity. With access to more ventilators, the full surgical capacity of the hospital could have been utilized. Conclusions The tested model was evaluated as an accurate tool to determine SC. The results illustrate that SC cannot be determined by testing one single function in the hospital, since all functions interact with each other and different functions can be identified as limiting factors at different times during the response., Funding Agencies|Stockholm County Council, Sweden; Laerdal foundation, Norway [2908]

7. Development and evaluation of a new simulation model for interactive training of the medical response to major incidents and disasters

Author: Lennquist Montan, K., Hreckovski, B., Dobson, B., Ortenwall, P., Montan, C., Khorram-Manesh, A., Lennquist, Sten, Lennquist Montan, K., Hreckovski, B., Dobson, B., Ortenwall, P., Montan, C., Khorram-Manesh, A., and Lennquist, Sten
Abstract: The need for and benefit of simulation models for interactive training of the response to major incidents and disasters has been increasingly recognized during recent years. One of the advantages with such models is that all components of the chain of response can be trained simultaneously. This includes the important communication/coordination between different units, which has been reported as the most common cause of failure. Very few of the presently available simulation models have been suitable for the simultaneous training of decision-making on all levels of the response. In this study, a new simulation model, originally developed for the scientific evaluation of methodology, was adapted to and developed for the postgraduate courses in Medical Response to Major Incidents (MRMI) organized under the auspices of the European Society for Trauma and Emergency Surgery (ESTES). The aim of the present study was to describe this development process, the model it resulted in, and the evaluation of this model. The simulation model was based on casualty cards giving all information normally available for the triage and primary management of traumatized patients. The condition of the patients could be changed by the instructor according to the time passed since the time of injury and treatments performed. Priority of the casualties as well as given treatments could be indicated on the cards by movable markers, which also gave the time required for every treatment. The exercises were run with real consumption of time and resources for all measures performed. The magnetized cards were moved by the trainees through the scene, through the transport lines, and through the hospitals where all functions were trained. For every patient was given the definitive diagnosis and the times within certain treatments had to be done to avoid preventable mortality and complications, which could be related to trauma-scores. The methodology was tested in nine MRMI courses with a total of 470, Funding Agencies|Swedish Governmental Board of Health and Welfare

10. “To silence the deafening silence”: Survivor's needs and experiences of the impact of disaster radio for their recovery after a natural disaster.

Author: Hugelius, Karin, Gifford, Mervyn, Ortenwall, Per, and Adolfsson, Annsofie
Abstract: In the aftermath of the Haiyan typhoon, disaster radio was used to spread information and music to the affected population. The study described survivors' experiences of being in the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster and the impact disaster radio made on recovery from the perspective of the individuals affected. Twenty eight survivors were interviewed in focus groups and individual interviews analyzed with phenomenological-hermeneutic method. Being in disaster mode included physical and psychosocial dimensions of being in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. Several needs among the survivors were expressed. Disaster radio contributed to recovery by providing facts and information that helped the survivor to understand and adapt. The music played contributed to emotional endurance and reduced feelings of loneliness. To re-establish social contacts, other interventions are needed . Disaster radio is a positive contribution to the promotion of survivors' recovery after disasters involving a large number of affected people and severely damaged infrastructure. Further studies on the use and impact of disaster radio are needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: ObjectivesTo test the hypothesis that long-term postoperative dalteparin (Fragmin^(R), Pharmacia Corp) treatment improves primary patency of peripheral arterial bypass grafts (PABG) in lower limb ischemia patients on acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) treatment.DesignProspective randomised double blind multicenter study.Materials and methodsUsing a computer algorithm 284 patients with lower limb ischemia, most with pre-operative ischemic ulceration or partial gangrene, from 12 hospitals were randomised, after PABG, to 5000IU dalteparin or placebo injections once daily for 3 months. All patients received 75mg of ASA daily for 12 months. Graft patency was assessed at 1, 3 and 12 months.ResultsAt 1 year, 42 patients had died or were lost to follow-up. Compliance with the injection schedule was 80%. Primary patency rate, in the dalteparin versus the control group, respectively, was 83 versus 80% (n.s.) at 3 months and 59% for both groups at 12 months. Major complication rates and cardiovascular morbidity were not different between the two groups.ConclusionsIn patients on ASA treatment, long-term postoperative dalteparin treatment did not improve patency after peripheral artery bypass grafting. Therefore, low molecular weight heparin treatment cannot be recommended for routine use after bypass surgery for critical lower limb ischemia.

Abstract: A recently described microrespirometric method was used to determine the influence of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), nialamide, imipramine and ouabain alone and in combinations on oxidative metabolism in monolayer cultures of endothelial cells from the rat pulmonary artery. It was found that exposure to 5-HT increased oxygen uptake in the cultures, while imipramine or ouabain decreased respiration; nialamide had no obvious effect. When used in combinations, the effect of ouabain or imipramine dominated over the 5-HT effect. The explanation for this 5-HT stimulating effect on endothelial cell oxidative metabolism, previously undescribed, is suggested to be that 5-HT exposure stimulated individual cells to contract. This active contraction resulted in an increased energy demand reflected in elevated oxygen consumption, an effect inhibited by ouabain or imipramine.

Abstract: Oxygen consumption was compared in confluent cultures of endothelial cells from human umbilical cord veins, rat pulmonary arteries, and bovine aortas. A microrespirometric method utilizing oxygenated hemoglobin as oxygen supply and indicator of respiration was used. Respiratory rate was equal in human and murine cells (2.0 X 10(-6) and 2.2 X 10(-6) microliters O2/cell/hour respectively), compared on a cell-to-cell basis, while respiratory rate of the bovine endothelium was significantly lower (0.4 X 10(-6) microliters O2/cell/hour) (P less than .001).

28. Effects of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in patients with inoperable severe lower limb ischaemia: A prospective randomised controlled study

Author: Jivega@?rd, L.E.H., Augustinsson, L.E., Holm, J., Risberg, B., and Ortenwall, P.
Abstract: Objectives:: This study was designed to test the hypothesis that spinal cord stimulation (SCS) improves limb salvage in patients with inoperable severe leg ischaemia. Design:: Prospective randomised controlled study with 18 months follow-up. Setting:: Vascular surgical units in two university hospitals. Materials:: Atherosclerotic (n = 41) and diabetic (n = 10) patients having chronic leg ischaemia with rest pain and/or ischaemic ulcerations due to technically inoperable arterial occlusions. Chief outcome measures: Limb salvage and amount of tissue loss within 18 months, pain relief. Main results:: Twenty-five patients were randomized to SCS and 26 to analgesic (control) treatment. Macrocirculatory parameters were not different in the two groups during follow-up. Long-term pain relief was observed only in the SCS group. At 18 months, limb salvage rates in the SCS and control groups were 62% and 45% (n.s.). Tissue loss was less (p = 0.05) in the SCS group. A subgroup analysis of patients without arterial hypertension showed a significantly lower amputation rate in the SCS vs the control group. Conclusions:: SCS provided long-term pain relief but limb salvage at 18 months was not significantly improved by SCS in this rather small study. The results suggest that SCS may reduce amputation levels in patients with severe inoperable leg ischaemia and be most effective in patients without arterial hypertension.

Abstract: Objectives:: To test the hypothesis that oral ciprofloxacin is equally effective as intravenous cefuroxime in preventing postoperative infectious complications in patients undergoing peripheral arterial surgery involving the groins. Design:: Prospective, randomised, double-blind multicentre study. Materials:: 580 patients undergoing arterial surgery involving the groins were randomised to ciprofloxacin (Ciproxin, Bayer) 750 mg x 2 p.o. or cefuroxime (Zinacef, Glaxo) 1.5 g x 3 i.v. given only on the day of surgery. The primary endpoint was wound/graft infection within 30 days postoperatively. Wound infection was defined as pus. Results:: The wound infection rate in the ciprofloxacin group was 9.2% (27 patients) and in the cefuroxime group 9.1% (26 patients) according to intention to treat. For correct treatment the corresponding numbers were 9.5% (23 patients) and 9.7% (22 patients), respectively. There were three graft infections (0.5%). The infection rate was 7.1% (31/433) in the absence and 14.9% (22/147) in the presence of distal ulcers (p<0.05). S. allreus was the most common bacteria isolated. Forty percent of the wound infections were localised to the groins. By multivariate analysis presence of distal ulcer was the only factor of prognostic significance. Conclusions:: The infection rate was similar in the two groups. Thus, oral administration of ciprofloxacin is an attractive, cost-effective and safe alternative to prophylaxis in vascular patients capable of taking oral medication on the day of surgery.

Author: Claesson A, Lindqvist J, Ortenwall P, Herlitz J, Claesson, Andreas, Lindqvist, Jonny, Ortenwall, Per, and Herlitz, Johan
Abstract: Aim: We aimed to describe characteristics associated with rescue from drowning as reported by the Swedish Fire and Rescue Services (SFARS) and their association with survival from the Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) registry.Method: This retrospective study is based on the OHCA registry and the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (SCCA) registry. All emergency calls (1996-2010) where the SFARS were dispatched were included (n=7175). For analysis of survival, OHCAs that matched events from the SCCA registry were included (n=250).Results: Calls to lakes and ponds were predominant (35% of all calls reported). Rescues were more likely in cold water, <10 °C (45%), in open water (80%) and in April-September (68%). Median delay from a call to arrival of rescue services was 8min, while it was 9 min for rescue diving units. Of all OHCA cases, the victim was found at the surface in 47% and underwater in 38%. In events where rescue divers were used, victims were significantly younger than in non-diving cardiac arrests and the mean diving depth was 6.3±5.8 m. Overall survival to one month was 5.6% (13% in diving and 4.7% in non-diving cases; p=0.07).Conclusion: In half of more than 7000 drowning-related calls to the SFARS during 15 years of practice, water rescue was needed. In all treated OHCA cases, the majority were found at the surface. Only in a small percentage did rescue diving take place. In these cases, survival did not appear to be poorer than in non-diving cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Background The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is still ongoing and a major challenge for health care services worldwide. In the first WSES COVID-19 emergency surgery survey, a strong negative impact on emergency surgery (ES) had been described already early in the pandemic situation. However, the knowledge is limited about current effects of the pandemic on patient flow through emergency rooms, daily routine and decision making in ES as well as their changes over time during the last two pandemic years. This second WSES COVID-19 emergency surgery survey investigates the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on ES during the course of the pandemic. Methods A web survey had been distributed to medical specialists in ES during a four-week period from January 2022, investigating the impact of the pandemic on patients and septic diseases both requiring ES, structural problems due to the pandemic and time-to-intervention in ES routine. Results 367 collaborators from 59 countries responded to the survey. The majority indicated that the pandemic still significantly impacts on treatment and outcome of surgical emergency patients (83.1% and 78.5%, respectively). As reasons, the collaborators reported decreased case load in ES (44.7%), but patients presenting with more prolonged and severe diseases, especially concerning perforated appendicitis (62.1%) and diverticulitis (57.5%). Otherwise, approximately 50% of the participants still observe a delay in time-to-intervention in ES compared with the situation before the pandemic. Relevant causes leading to enlarged time-to-intervention in ES during the pandemic are persistent problems with in-hospital logistics, lacks in medical staff as well as operating room and intensive care capacities during the pandemic. This leads not only to the need for triage or transferring of ES patients to other hospitals, reported by 64.0% and 48.8% of the collaborators, respectively, but also to paradigm shifts in treatment modalities to non-operative approaches reported by 67.3% of the participants, especially in uncomplicated appendicitis, cholecystitis and multiple-recurrent diverticulitis. Conclusions The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic still significantly impacts on care and outcome of patients in ES. Well-known problems with in-hospital logistics are not sufficiently resolved by now; however, medical staff shortages and reduced capacities have been dramatically aggravated over last two pandemic years.

Abstract: Background: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is a major challenge for health care services worldwide. It’s impact on oncologic therapies and elective surgery has been described recently, and the literature provides guidelines regarding appropriate elective patient treatment during the pandemic. However, the impact of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on emergency surgery services has been poorly investigated up to now. Methods: A 17-item web survey had been distributed to emergency surgeons in June 2020 around the world, investigating the impact of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on patients and septic diseases both requiring emergency surgery and the time-to-intervention in emergency surgery routine, as well as experiences with surgery in COVID-19 patients. Results: Ninety-eight collaborators from 31 countries responded to the survey. The majority (65.3%) estimated the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on emergency surgical patient care as being strong or very strong. Due to the pandemic, 87.8% reported a decrease in the total number of patients undergoing emergency surgery and approximately 25% estimated a delay of more than 2 h in the time-to-diagnosis and another 2 h in the time-to-intervention. Fifty percent make structural problems with in-hospital logistics (e.g. transport of patients, closed normal wards etc.) mainly responsible for delayed emergency surgery and the frequent need (56.1%) for a triage of emergency surgical patients. 56.1% of the collaborators observed more severe septic abdominal diseases during the pandemic, especially for perforated appendicitis and severe septic cholecystitis (41.8% and 40.2%, respectively). 62.2% had experiences with surgery in COVID-19-infected patients. Conclusions: The results of The WSES COVID-19 emergency surgery survey are alarming. The combination of an estimated decrease in numbers of emergency surgical patients and an observed increase in more severe septic diseases may be a result of the fear of patients from infection with COVID-19 and a consecutive delayed hospital admission and diagnosis. A critical delay in time-to-diagnosis and time-to-intervention may be a result of changes in in-hospital logistics and operating room as well as intensive care capacities. Both reflect the potentially harmful impact of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on emergency surgery services. publishedVersion

Abstract: Objectives: To develop and evaluate a simulation model making it possible to evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of different triage methods; to compare the results of physiological and anatomical triage performed by medical staff with different levels of skills with the use of this model., Design and Outcome Measures: A simulation model was created based on patient cards giving sufficient physiological data as a base for physiological triage and anatomical data as description of findings at exposure, providing a base for anatomical triage. Three groups with different skills in disaster medicine, nurse students (n = 23), ambulance nurses (n = 20), and surgeons (n = 30), performed triage based on the patient cards. The outcome was given as potential avoidable mortality. The results of the triage for the two methods were compared to the result of the same triage performed by an expert group., Results: Differences in triage: Within the groups, the difference between the two triage methods was only significant for the surgeons (p < 0.001), who had a better result using the anatomical triage. For the "physiological triage," there were no significant differences between the three groups. Regarding the results for the "anatomical triage," there were significant differences between both the nurse students and the surgeons (p < 0.001) and the ambulance nurses and the surgeons (p < 0.05). Results in distribution of patients and potential avoidable mortality: Within the groups, the difference between the two methods was significant for all the groups (nurse students, p < 0.01; ambulance nurses, p < 0.01; and surgeons, p < 0.001). They all had a better outcome with anatomical triage (nurse students, 6.1 percent; ambulance nurses, 6.1 percent; and surgeons 19.5 percent less mortality than physiological triage). The group that made the best outcome from physiological triage was the ambulance nurses who had a significantly better result than both nurse students (p < 0.01) and surgeons (p < 0.001). The mean mortality rate for ambulance nurses was 31.1 percent, nurse students, 37 percent, and surgeons was 38.1 percent. Regarding the anatomical triage, there was a significant difference (p < 0.001) between the groups of nurse students (30.9 percent mortality) and surgeons (18.9 percent mortality). The differences between the rest of the groups were also significant (p < 0.05)., Conclusions: The model developed for this study made it possible to compare different methods of triage and also triage performed by staff of different levels of training and experience. Anatomical triage for all test groups in this study gave significantly better results than physiological triage regarding calculated outcome and this difference increased with increasing experience.

Abstract: Objective: The overall aim of this study was to describe changes in health-related quality of life, anxiety, depression, and return to work from 0.5-1.5 yrs to 4.5-5.5 yrs after injury in patients with and without delusional memories during their intensive care unit stay. A secondary aim was to explore factors that were related to health-related quality of life and to compare trauma patients' health-related quality of life 4.5 to 5.5 yrs after injury with a reference group., Design: Longitudinal, prospective., Settings: Multicentre study., Patients: Trauma patients treated in the intensive care unit., Interventions: None., Measurements and Main Results: A follow-up study was conducted with 153 consenting adults. Each patient answered a postal questionnaire twice, 0.5-1.5 yrs to 4.5-5.5 yrs after the injury. Health-related quality of life was assessed by Short Form-36 and anxiety and depression by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Delusional memories and other clinical variables were assessed in a previous study and used in this study as possible precipitants of poor health-related quality of life. Seventy-five percent were males and mean Injury Severity Scores were 10.7 +/- 7.1. When comparing health-related quality of life over time, there was significant improvement in five domains of health-related quality of life for patients with delusional memories compared with 4 yrs previously. Significantly more patients with delusions had anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale > or =8). Patients with delusional memories were still significantly separated from the other patients in all health-related quality-of-life domains except for general health. Seventy-five percent of all patients had returned to work. Despite a poorer health-related quality of life, patients with delusions had returned to work to the same degree. Patients with trauma still scored significantly lower in all domains 4.5 to 5.5 yrs after the injury compared with the Swedish population in the reference group (p < .001). Two factors, delusional memories during intensive care unit stay and pre-existing disease prior the trauma, had the most influence on a poorer health-related quality of life., Conclusions: From a long-term perspective, health-related quality of life has improved but not reached the reference sample scores in Short Form-36. Seventy-five percent had returned to work. Patients with delusional memories still experienced poorer health-related quality of life and more patients had anxiety and depression compared with patients without those memories.

Abstract: Background: Although disasters and major incidents are difficult to predict, the results can be mitigated through planning, training and coordinated management of available resources. Following a fire in a disco in Gothenburg, causing 63 deaths and over 200 casualties, a medical disaster response centre was created. The center was given the task to coordinate risk assessments, disaster planning and training of staff within the region and on an executive level, to be the point of contact (POC) with authority to act as "gold control," i.e. to take immediate strategic command over all medical resources within the region if needed. The aim of this study was to find out if the centre had achieved its tasks by analyzing its activities., Methods: All details concerning alerts of the regional POC was entered a web-based log by the duty officer. The data registered in this database was analyzed during a 3-year period., Results: There was an increase in number of alerts between 2006 and 2008, which resulted in 6293 activities including risk assessments and 4473 contacts with major institutions or key persons to coordinate or initiate actions. Eighty five percent of the missions were completed within 24 h. Twenty eight exercises were performed of which 4 lasted more than 24 h. The centre also offered 145 courses in disaster and emergency medicine and crisis communication., Conclusion: The data presented in this study indicates that the center had achieved its primary tasks. Such regional organization with executive, planning, teaching and training responsibilities offers possibilities for planning, teaching and training disaster medicine by giving immediate feed-back based on real incidents.

Abstract: Background: A hospital's capacity and preparedness is one of the important parts of disaster planning. Hospital-related incidents, a new phenomenon in Swedish healthcare, may lead to ambulance diversions, increased waiting time at emergency departments and treatment delay along with deterioration of disaster management and surge capacity. We aimed to identify the causes and impacts of hospital-related incidents in Region Västra Götaland (western region of Sweden)., Methods: The regional registry at the Prehospital and Disaster Medicine Center was reviewed (2006-2008). The number of hospital-related incidents and its causes were analyzed., Results: There were an increasing number of hospital-related incidents mainly caused by emergency department's overcrowdings, the lack of beds at ordinary wards and/or intensive care units and technical problems at the radiology departments. These incidents resulted in ambulance diversions and reduced the prehospital capacity as well as endangering the patient safety., Conclusion: Besides emergency department overcrowdings, ambulance diversions, endangering patient s safety and increasing risk for in-hospital mortality, hospital-related incidents reduces and limits the regional preparedness by minimizing the surge capacity. In order to prevent a future irreversible disaster, this problem should be avoided and addressed properly by further regional studies.

Abstract: Objective: The aims of this study were to describe the demographics, injuries, mechanisms and severity of injury, prehospital and hospital care during the first 24h, and patient outcome, in the most severely injured children cared for following trauma at a paediatric intensive care unit in Sweden., Methods: The medical records of 131 traumatised children (0-16 years of age), admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit in Gothenburg from January 1990 to October 2000, were retrospectively examined. Nine internationally recognised scoring systems were used to calculate severity of injury, in order to predict the chances of patient survival., Results: Paediatric trauma was more common in boys (68%). The mean age at injury was 7.9 years (S.D. 4.7 years). Traffic-related accidents (40%) and falls (34%) were the leading causes of injury. Injuries to the head were the most frequent, forming 24% of all injuries. Severity of injury was recorded as an Injury Severity Score median of 14, Trauma Score Injury Severity Score median of 99% and Paediatric Risk of Mortality Score median of 0.69%. The mortality rate was 3%., Conclusion: Trauma with admission to a paediatric intensive care unit is rare in a Swedish paediatric population. When cared for at a centre with the necessary facilities and trained personnel, these children have a good chance of survival.
