Impact of Multi-Drug-Resistant Pneumonia on Outcomes of Critically Ill Trauma Patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Six hours from injury to washout is considered the gold standard in the treatment of open traumatic fractures. Despite this being our hospital policy, the rural nature of our Level I trauma center causes delays in discovery and transport, creating a unique randomization of time to washout. We hypothesized th...
