Revised Trauma Score Orthoteers
The Revised Trauma Score is a physiological scoring system, with high inter-rater reliability and demonstrated accuracy in predicting death. It is scored from the first set of data obtained on the patient, and consists of Glasgow Coma Scale, Systolic Blood Pressure and Respiratory Rate.

Standardised proformas improve patient handover Audit of trauma handover practice
Patient handover between shifts has become a necessary part of practice in order to reduce the risk of medical errors. Data handed over between shifts are used to prioritise clinical jobs outstanding, and to create theatre lists. We present a closed-loop audit of handover practice to assess whether standardised handover sheets improve clinical data transfer between shifts during handover in our Orthopaedic Unit.

TraumAID is a program developed over the past twelve years to assist physicians with the diagnosis and treatment of penetrating trauma (gunshot and stab wounds) to the chest and abdomen. The project has subsequently expanded to encompass other emergency medicine related endeavors.

Validation of the New Injury Severity Score for Outcome Prediction
OTA Paper 2004: A Study in 13,301 Patients from the German Trauma Registry
Purpose The NISS is a recent modification of the ISS, calculated from the sum of the squares of AIS for the three worst injuries, regardless of body region. The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of NISS in our usual population of patients with a predominantly blunt-injury mechanism.
Conclusion: The NISS was found to be superior or equivalent to the ISS and AISmax for prediction of all investigated outcomes in a population of typical European trauma patients.
