It is primarily composed of rural and small communities, with many areas having some limitation of resources. There are 25 hospitals in Region 2, with a large variation in hospital size ranging from the small community hospital to the large teaching institution. There is one Level 1 Trauma Center, seven Level II Trauma Center’s and seventeen Participating Hospitals. The Region 2 Trauma Plan is written in an attempt to organize trauma centers and existing resources in an effort to allow for continuous improvement in the provision of trauma care.

  • Trauma Clinical Guideline: Major Burn Resuscitation
    Washington State Department of Health Office of Community Health Systems Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Section Trauma Clinical Guideline Major Burn Resuscitation The Trauma Medical Directors and Program Managers Workgroup is an open forum for designated trauma services in Washington State to share ideas and concerns about providing trauma care. The workgroup meets regularly to encourage communication among services, and to share best practices and information to improve quality of care. On occasion, at the request of the Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Care Steering Committee, the group discusses the value of specific clinical management guidelines for trauma care. The Washington State Department of Health distributes this guideline on behalf of the Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Care Steering Committee to assist trauma care services with developing their trauma patient care guidelines. Toward this goal, the workgroup has categorized the type of guideline, the sponsoring organization, how it was developed, and whether it has been tested or validated. The intent of this information is to assist physicians in evaluating the content of this guideline and its potential benefits for their practice or any particular patient. The Department of Health does not mandate the use of this guideline. The department recognizes the varying resources of different services, and approaches that work for one trauma service may not be suitable for others. The decision to use this guideline depends on the independent medical judgment of the physician. We recommend trauma services and physicians who choose to use this guideline consult with the department regularly for any updates to its content. The department appreciates receiving any information regarding practitioners’ experience with this guideline.

  • BURN CARE Original Release/Approval 1 Oct 06 Note: This CPG Requires an Annual Review
    Joint Theater Trauma System Clinical Practice Guideline BURN CARE Original Release/Approval 1 Oct 06 Note: This CPG requires an annual review. Reviewed: May 2012 Approved: 25 June 2012 Supersedes: Burn Care, 21 Nov 08 Minor Changes (or) Changes are substantial and require a thorough reading of this CPG (or) Significant Changes Multiple updates on burn care in theater; PI monitoring plan added 1. Goal. The goal of this CPG is to provide practical, evidence-based, recommendations for optimal care of burn casualties who generally fall into one of two categories: military casualties who most frequently sustain burns related to an explosion and can be rapidly evacuated out of theater for definitive care; and local national patients, often children, who commonly sustain burns from accidents, who present for care at military medical facilities with no possibility of definitive care beyond that provided in theater. 2. Background. Optimal treatment of burn patients is a very labor intensive process which can consume enormous personnel and logistical resources. Despite the best efforts of providers at each level of care, the mortality for burn casualties, who cannot be evacuated out of the combat theater, is significantly higher than that experienced in stateside facilities (Table 1). Experience among US military treatment facilities in the past 9 years reveals no survivors among local nation casualties in OIF and OEF sustaining full thickness burns to 50% or greater total body surface area (TBSA). The spread of infection in large open wards is a real concern, and can threaten the clinical outcome of non-burn patients. These factors must be considered and are incorporated into this CPG to assist the physician in making patient management decisions unique to the deployment environment.
