March 2024 - 8 articles

Cover Story: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly reshaped healthcare systems, particularly impacting trauma care practices within ICUs. In this context, the study conducted at a Level II Trauma Center provides a crucial retrospective analysis on how the pandemic influenced PT mobilization of trauma patients and altered the characteristics of their injuries, unveiling the adaptability and resilience of trauma care in the face of unprecedented challenges. Key findings underscore the sustained effectiveness of PT mobilization strategies, despite heightened obstacles, and document notable shifts in injury attributes. This paper contributes essential insights into the resilience of trauma care practices during the pandemic, emphasizing the importance of adaptable care protocols in maintaining patient outcomes amidst global health crises.
