Delayed CTA after high grade solid organ injury identifies vascular lesions (e.g. pseudoaneurysms) and changes management in 14% of patients, triggering either surgical intervention or angioembolization. Delayed CTA should be performed routinely, especially after splenic injury.

ACA-related insurance expansion led to 25% decline in uninsured rate for trauma pts & 30% increase in access to vital post-acute care. Most gains due to Medicaid expansion, but 17 states still haven't expanded. @DrJohnScott @CSPH_BWH @harborviewmc #AAST2018

Factors associated with trauma surgeon work-life balance are modifiable. Trauma surgeons, as well as trauma leaders, should focus on these modifiable factors to optimize work-life balance and minimize burnout. @DellMedSchool @UTGenSurgery @CVRBrown
