“…In each case, no survival advantage was identified for those patients who had shorter outof-hospital times. [29][30][31] We previously evaluated a heterogeneous group of consecutive trauma patients for whom an ambulance responded emergently and found no difference in patient outcome based on the ambulance response time. 20 To our knowledge, only one published study has previously evaluated paramedic response time on survival in a group of patients with unselected medical problems.…”

A paramedic response time within 8 minutes was not associated with improved survival to hospital discharge after controlling for several important confounders, including level of illness severity. However, a survival benefit was identified when the response time was within 4 minutes for patients with intermediate or high risk of mortality. Adherence to the 8-minute response time guideline in most patients who access out-of-hospital emergency services is not supported by these results.

“…Additional research has suggested that the timeliness of medical response is highly correlated with the severity of victim gunshot wound injuries and likelihood of mortality (Feero, Hedges, Simmons, & Irwin, 1995;Fiedler, Jones, Miller, & Finley, 1986;Gervin & Fischer, 1982). Conveyance by ambulance or police units to trauma centers does not appear to influence victim injury severity or mortality (Band, Salhi, Holena, et al, 2014), but victims who are transported by private, non-emergency means tend to have better survival outcomes relative to victims who delivered to trauma centers by emergency services (Demetriades et al, 1996).…”

This research addresses recent calls to incorporate multidisciplinary approaches in the study of firearm violence by utilizing an elaborated criminal events perspective to explore the correlates of firearm injury severity. A unique dataset of non-fatal firearm injury data are derived from official police reports, allowing the use of a medically-validated measure of injury trauma in place of more typical injury indicators. The relative and collaborative contributions of criminological and public health indicators for explaining variation in levels of injury severity are assessed. Multinomial logit models suggest that critical injuries are more likely among older victims, victims who knew their assailants, and victims who refused to cooperate with police. Additionally, the likelihood of critical victim injuries decreased as the time to report an incident to the police increased. The strongest correlates were measures of incident circumstances and the number of gunshot wounds a victim received. In all, these results reveal that a combination of measures from both fields is needed to provide a deeper understanding of injury severity outcomes.

“…Travmalı hastalarda yapılan çalışmaların büyük çoğunluğunda en önemli ölüm nedeninin hipovolemik şok olduğu bildirilmişti (2,(14)(15)(16)(17). Gelişen şokun derinliği ve hastanın şokta kalma süresi morbidite ve mortaliteyi direkt olarak etkilemektedir.…”
