Can Focused Trauma Education Initiatives Reduce Mortality or Improve Resource Utilization in a Low‐Resource Setting?

Abstract

The mortality of severely injured patients decreased after initiation of focused trauma education courses, but no significant increase in resource utilization was observed. The explanation may be complex and multi-factorial. Long-term multidisciplinary efforts that pair training with changes in resources and mentorship may be needed to produce broad and lasting changes in the overall care system.
