Worcestershire ICU Trauma Guidelines
WAHT TRAUMA TROLLEYS (RESUS)
It is rare for major trauma patients to be treated at WAHT, however, when they do occur it is usually because the patient is too sick to make it safely to the Major Trauma Centre, they have attended the Emergency Department without the West Midlands Ambulance Service or their initial injuries were underestimated and the patient has deteriorated.
