Brief summary
To evaluate the effects of trauma treatment team establishment on the treatment of patients with severe trauma.
Detailed description
This is a national multi-center, cluster-randomized controlled trial. This cluster-randomized controlled trial will be performed, with counties as the randomization units. The included counties will be randomized into an experimental group and a control group. A trauma treatment team will be only established in the experimental group. The in-hospital mortality rate will be compared between the experimental and control groups to investigate the effects of trauma treatment team establishment on the treatment of patients with severe trauma.
Interventions
Establishing the trauma management system included a trauma treatment team. The severe trauma treatment team will be composed by the physicians from departments of emergency, orthopedic trauma, urology, cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, general surgery, anesthesiology, and ICU.
Establishing the trauma management system without a trauma treatment team.
