Results: One hundred and ninety-two Victorian and 91 NSW patients did not differ in: demographics (males: 77% versus 79%; P = 0.7 and age: 34 (18-88) versus 33 (18-85); P = 0.7), Glasgow Coma Scale (3 (3-8) versus 5 (3-8); P = 0.07), and injury severity score (38 (26-75) versus 35 (18-75); P = 0.09), prehospital hypotension (15.4% versus 11.7%; P = 0.5) and desaturation (14.6% versus 17.5%; P = 0.5). Victorians had higher abbreviated injury scale head and neck (5 (4-5) versus 5 (3-6); P = 0.04) and more often successful PETI (85% versus 22%; P < 0.05). On logistic regression analysis, mortality did not differ among groups (31.7% versus 26.3%; P = 0.34; OR = 0.84; 95% CI: 0.38-1.86; P = 0.67). Among survivors, Victorians had longer stay in ICU (364 (231-486) versus 144 (60-336) h), a difference that persisted on gamma regression (effect = 1.58; 95% CI: 1.30-1.92; P < 0.05). Conclusion: Paramedics using RSI to obtain PETI in patients with traumatic brain injury had a higher success rate. This increase in successful PETI rate was not associated with an improvement in either mortality rate or ICU length of stay.]]> Fri 28 Oct 2022 15:46:11 AEDT ]]>
