Source of support: Nil Conflict of interest: None INTRODUCTIONThe Panamerican Trauma Society (PTS) was born 30 years ago with the mission of improving Trauma Care in the Americas by promoting an exchange of ideas and concepts and expanding knowledge of trauma and acute illness. The authors, immediate past leaders of the organization, review the evolution of this assembly of diverse cultures and nationalities.It has now been 30 years since the PTS was born. The three decades of its short existence have been quite eventful in the scenario of growing pains, adolescence, maturation, and accomplishments. It is an interesting tale of people of various languages, nationalities, backgrounds, and races coming together to improve the care for the critically injured and ill surgical patients in the hemisphere. It is a journey of international collaboration in global surgery and improvements in surgical care of low-and middle-income countries (LMIC). The scope has extended now to distant continents also.The first author of this communication has had the privilege of participation in this great odyssey, first as a young surgeon and a charter member, climaxing to the last 6 years of executive directorship. The authors have just finished their official posts of executive director and immediate past President of the Society respectively. The objective of this report is to document the Society's journey from its infancy to the current status of adulthood. The intention is not in the least self-aggrandizement, but to weave the evolution of a multinational society in the current era of increased enthusiasm for issues of global surgery. It is a tribute for the many, many individual members, Board of Managers, Committees, and past Presidents, who collectively should be credited with the current standing of the Society. We sincerely hope that the members will read this history, proudly own the Society as their own, and inspire others to advance it further. This document may also serve as the baton for the in-coming generation and leadership. THE BIRTHThe Panamerican Trauma Society (PTS) was conceived over a lunch, in a restaurant in Mexico City named "Hacienda Los Morales" in 1987, during a Mexican Red Cross symposium. It was an inspired thought of Dr Armando Baqueiro of Mexico, who proposed to create a Society with the mission of improving the management of trauma patients in the American Hemisphere: North, Central, and South; and consequently with the name PTS. The visionaries included Drs Baqueiro, Aurelio Rodriguez, Alejandro Grife, Garcia Morales "El Max," Gomez Palacio, Carlos Moreno, all Latin American surgeons of experience and repute (Fig. 1). Drs Aurelio Rodriguez and Francisco Holguin (from C...

Objective: To evaluate the perception of doctors, residents, and medical students of smartphone use on daily medical practice. Materials and methods:Cross-sectional study with data collected online by questionnaire on Google Docs ® , with closed multiple-choice questions regarding smartphones use in medical practice and its impact on decision-making and patients' privacy.Results: There were 118 questionnaires, mostly from students (61%), followed by medical residents (31%) and medical preceptors (8%). All preceptors confirmed eventual use of smartphones on clinical cases discussions, 77.8% of whom use it in less than half of the time. Among the residents, 94.6% use theirs smartphones, 77% of them in more than half of the time. On the contrary, 12.5% of the students do not use this kind of resource, and among those that do use it, 50% do so more than half of the time. All preceptors, 94.6% residents and 80.6% of the students believe its use does not expose the patients' privacy.Conclusion: Preceptors and residents use smartphones more often than medical students. Most agree its use helps on daily decision-making and does not jeopardize the patients' privacy.

Background: Trauma registry remains a great problem to most countries that are implementing trauma systems. Nondigital data assessment and storage may lead to information deterioration along the process. In order to verify the missing registry in prehospital trauma rescuers' form, we ran this study. Study design:A prospective observational noncontrolled study with 288 random trauma cases brought to a Level 1 Trauma Center in Curitiba, between May 28th and June 10th 2006. We analyzed data registered in the prehospital rescue team form. The including criteria were all patients delivered to the trauma center by ambulances. The excluding criteria were patients not transported by ambulances and those without the proper form filled out. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square for discrete, and the student's t-test for continuous variables.Results: Two hundred and eighty-eight trauma cases were observed. Twelve patients were excluded. Of the 276 patients who met the including criteria, 75% were men with a mean age of 27-year-old. In only 8.34% of times patients were brought by doctors, while in 91.66% by paramedics. 63.4% of patients were traffic injuries victims, followed by 12.31% falls, 6.52% falls from the high, 5.79% gunshot wounds, 5.34% assaults, 3.62% stab wounds, 2.89% others. Impressively, 16 patients (5.89%) had no records of respiratory rate from the prehospital care assessment, 20 (7.24%) had no data of systolic blood pressure and 13(4.71%)had no pulse registry. Furthermore, 31.25% of the RR not registered were abnormal in the hospital admission evaluation, as well as 15% of the SBPs, and 23% of HR. None of the cases had information regarding time from the scene to the hospital. Conclusion:Electronic data collection shall make checklists consistently filled out. It is not well understood the importance of registering data for most of healthcare providers working in the field, especially when they do not follow the in-hospital care of trauma patients.
