3 Early OIF Surgical Sites PROXIMITY SURVIVABILITY COMBAT TRAUMA SYSTEM REALITY in Early OIF UNDER-triage Point of Injury Major trauma Reasons cited 1. Casevac 2. Closest medic 3. Poor casualty assessment 4. Unaware of capability/necessity Evac#1 MAJOR FSMC Evac #2 FST TRIAGE Level I Avoidable risk CSH CSH CSH Page 3

4 CONSEQUENCE We had fallen behind the construct of experience gained and lessons learned from civilian trauma systems Trauma System DEFINITION An arrangement of available resources that are coordinated for the effective delivery of emergency health care services in geographical regions consistent with planning and management standards. GOAL Get the right patient to the right hospital in the right amount of time DEL RIO MODEL OF TRAUMA CARE Page 4
