Background: Highways represent the most significant capital asset that any country’s public sector holds. A system of national highways with easy access to ambulance and trauma centers is termed emergency rescue ready and helps reduce the mortality due to road accidents. Given the rich impetus for road infrastructure development by the government of India, there is a need to consider emergency rescue readiness on highways. Previous research suggests that on typical Indian highways, an ambulance can reach the accident scene within 30 minutes; the remaining 30 minutes of golden hour is essential for saving the life of the injured by admitting to a healthcare facility with a trauma unit. Objective: To investigate the emergency rescue readiness for a stretch of highway between two cities in India. The main objective is to determine the possibility of transporting the injured due to the accident on the highway to the nearest available trauma center within 30 minutes. Methods: A Geographic Information System (GIS)-based network analysis method has been adopted to find the possibility of transporting the injured anywhere on the circuit of a national highway to the nearest healthcare unit within 30 minutes. Results: A map representing the status of emergency rescue readiness has been presented for the study area. For a circuit of national highway with a length of 805 km, in a stretch of 89.5% (718.5 km), the injured can be transported to the healthcare unit within 30 minutes. In the remaining 10.5% of the highway, the healthcare units are significantly far from the highways and may hamper the post-crash rescue operations. Conclusion: There exists a wide disparity in trauma care delivery in the study area. Currently, the healthcare units established to serve the areas with dense populations also serve as emergency rescues during accidents on the national highways. Using GIS techniques for highway stretches with difficulty reaching the trauma centers, a national-level assessment is highly recommended.

Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs) contribute a significant and escalating rate in harm, hospitalization, and mortality. This study assesses the seasonal trend and time series analysis of RTAs cases brought to casualty department of Liaquat University Hospital, Hyderabad, Pakistan. Objective: To conduct seasonal and time series analysis of RTA cases at Casualty Department of Liaquat University Hospital Hyderabad. Methods: Nine hundred and sixty-six road traffic accidents-related cases were examined through prospective study at casualty department, Liaquat University Hospital, Hyderabad, Pakistan from January 2020 to December 2022. The seasonal trend was demonstrated by drawing seasonal index plot and time series plot. Results: The largest occurrences of RTA-related cases were reported in the month of December, having 103 total cases with a mean of 34.33 ± 18.92. July had the second highest frequency of RTAs-related cases, with a total of 94 cases having a mean of 31 ± 5.43 cases. The second-highest number of cases was observed in July and November with approximately equal mean number of RTAs. The time series analysis demonstrated an increasing trend of RTAs-related cases in the last three months of the year. Conclusions: The number of cases connected to RTAs increased during seasons of extreme weather, such as the summer and winter, and it also showed an increasing tendency in the last quarter of 2022.
