Assistant Professor Amit Gupta, Professor Mark
Fitzgerald, Dr Lakshmi Prasad Govindaraju (Alfred Visiting Fellow, India), and Professor Russell Gruen |
Improved trauma systems are a part of the solution to the global injury
epidemic and have been very successful in Victoria. Can they work to
reduce the 5 million trauma deaths elsewhere in the world?
India is tackling an injury problem of epidemic proportions. The Australia-India Trauma Systems Collaboration (AITSC) is a collaboration of clinicians and researchers, academic partners, and governments. It aims to develop and test some innovative pre-hospital, hospital, and post-hospital interventions that could improve care of the injured in India and Australia.

ICU fatalities linked to after-hours discharge
Patients who are discharged from intensive care units (ICUs)
after-hours have a higher chance of death than those discharged during
the day, a new study has found.
Findings published today in Intensive Care Medicine, show that one in seven ICU patients continue to be discharged to general wards after-hours, and this has not changed for the past eight years. Lead researcher Dr Dashiell Gantner, from the Monash University Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Science, said it remains unclear why practices have not changed. Dr Gantner is an Intensive Care Fellow at the Alfred. See 18/08/2014 Monash story.
