Trauma patients safe from mortality risks associated with so-called 'weekend effect'
Date:1/22/2010

Traumatology and Surgical Critical Care. "No one plans to be injured, have a heart attack, a cardiac arrest, or a stroke. But when it happens, we owe it to them to provide a system of care that is ready 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year."

Next, the authors plan to expand their research to a larger study of trauma outcomes at hospitals across the state of Pennsylvania and throughout the nation to learn more about how the system's structure may benefit patients during off-hours.
