In April 2020, Trauma System News surveyed trauma program leaders to find out how they prepared for the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey results show that programs have taken multiple steps to protect the safety of patients and team members. Findings include:
- Key changes to trauma activation and rounding protocols
- Approaches to reducing risk during intubations and other procedures
- Strategies for creating staff cohorts and staggering cohort schedules
- Approaches to social distancing for trauma program staff
- Changes to regional trauma referral systems
