Controlled clinical intervention study comparing the treatment of multiple trauma patients in a newly developed combined diagnostic and operation room, the multifunctional image guided therapy suite (MIGTS) versus controls. The MIGTS proved to significantly accelerate the procedure and led to more satisfied team members.
Objective: Pilot evaluation to which extend the implementation of a newly developed combined diagnostic and operation room, the multifunctional image guided therapy suite (MIGTS) may influence the emergency treatment of multiply injured patients. Summary Background: Controlled data on the impact of modern technology integration in multiple trauma management and involved care providers are lacking. Methods: Quasi-randomized clinical intervention study comparing the treatment of multiple trauma patients (injury severity score, ISS \>16) in the MIGTS versus controls.
