TL;DR: The physiologic, pathophysiologic, andclinical underpinnings of safe tourniquet use are reviewed here, along with a discussion of alternatives to tournique use and future directions in which tourniques research andother initiatives will further enhance the safe, rational use of this potentially life-saving tool.

TL;DR: The preventable death rate from trauma demonstrated in Utah is similar to that found in other settings where the trauma system is under development but has not reached full maturity and resource organization and education of ED primary care providers in basic principles of stabilization and initial treatment may be the most cost-effective method of reducing preventable deaths.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze prehospital management of pain using NEMSIS data, and assess if variables such as patient age and/or race/ethnicity are associated with disparity in pain treatment.
