TL;DR: Selecting trauma centers based on geographic need, appropriately locating medical helicopter bases, and establishing formal agreements for sharing trauma care resources across states should be considered to improve access to trauma care in the United States.

TL;DR: A retrospective descriptive analysis of battlefield data examined 21,089 US military casualties that occurred during the Afghanistan conflict from September 11, 2001, to March 31, 2014 to compare morbidity and mortality outcomes for casualties before vs after the mandate and for those who underwent prehospital helicopter transport in 60 minutes or less vs more than 60 minutes.

The influence of prehospital time on trauma patients outcome: a systematic review.
Annelieke M. K. Harmsen,Georgios F. Giannakopoulos,P.R. Moerbeek,Elise P. Jansma,H. J. Bonjer,Frank W. Bloemers +5 more
TL;DR: Results demonstrate a decrease in odds of mortality for the undifferentiated trauma patient when response-time or transfer-time are shorter and increased on-scene time and total prehospital time are associated with increased odds of survival for this population.

Opeolu Adeoye,Karen C. Albright,Brendan G. Carr,Catherine Wolff,Micheal T. Mullen,Todd Abruzzo,Andrew J. Ringer,Pooja Khatri,Charles C. Branas,Dawn Kleindorfer +9 more
TL;DR: Access of the US population to all facilities that actually provide intravenous r-tPA or endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke is described to provide a national perspective on acute stroke care and should inform the planning and optimization of stroke systems in the United States.

Cardiac resuscitation in the community. Importance of rapid provision and implications for program planning.
TL;DR: Several time-related variables involving resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were studied, and short time intervals from collapse to initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and to provision of definitive care were significantly associated with survival from cardiac arrest.
