Time to Computed Tomography for Major Trauma Patients: 10‐Year Trends at a Level‐1 Trauma Centre

Time to CT in trauma patients has not changed over a 10-year period, remaining below international standards. In-hospital mortality of major trauma patients at our institution continued to decrease over the study timeframe, resulting in one of the lowest risk-adjusted mortality rates in the country. Development and publication of an Australian KPI for Time to CT in Trauma patients is an important next step in Australian trauma policy and guidelines. This study will serve as a baseline for reassessment of trauma patient initial management workflow within the hospital following the addition of a new acute care services block, protocols for suitable major trauma patients to bypass the emergency resuscitation bay, and a CT hybrid room through our institution's expansion.
