Introduction: Concentration of trauma care in trauma network has resulted in different trauma populations across designated levels of trauma care.
Objective: Describing psychological health status, by means of the impact event scale (IES) and the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), of major trauma patients one and two years post-trauma across different levels of trauma care in trauma networks.
Methods: A multicentre retrospective cohort study was conducted.
A national multi centre pre-hospital ECPR stepped wedge study; design and rationale of the ON-SCENE study.

Background: The likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation with conventional advanced life support is known to have an exponential decline and therefore neurological outcome after 20 min in patients with a cardiac arrest is poor. Initiation of venoarterial ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) during resuscitation might improve outcomes if used in time and in a selected patient category. However, previous studies have failed to significantly reduce the time from cardiac arrest to ECMO flow to less than 60 min.

- The study evaluates the limitations of using an Injury Severity Score (ISS) > 15 to define major trauma (MT) and its impact on trauma care networks.
- A multicenter analysis of the Dutch National Trauma Registry data from 2015 to 2019 involved patients aged 16 and older who were severely injured and examined their in-hospital mortality and clinical outcomes based on their admission to level I vs. non-level I trauma centers.
- The results show no significant difference in in-hospital mortality between patients treated at level I and non-level I facilities, although those at non-level I hospitals had shorter stays and a higher likelihood of being discharged home, suggesting that all trauma care levels yield similar outcomes for severely injured patients.
Pedestal fluctuation measurements with charge exchange imaging at the DIII-D tokamak.

A new high radial resolution 2D multichannel Charge eXchange Imaging (CXI) diagnostic is under development for deployment at DIII-D. The diagnostic system will measure low-to-intermediate radial wavenumber carbon density fluctuations by observing the n = 8 - 7 (λ = 529.06 nm) C-VI emission line, resulting from charge exchange collisions between heating neutral beam atoms and the intrinsic carbon ion density.
