    1. Imperial County REACH field transport to RCHSD CASE Study Field transport of 2 year old

    2. -Child injured approximately 1930. -Child arrived at RCHSD Trauma room at 2123 (< 2 hours) -2150 In CT -2200 In PICU

    3. Primary survey: A&B=BVM Ventilation Breath sounds = and O2 Sats 100, C=HR 140, BP 88/34, Pulses palpable, CRT 2 sec Neuro exam: Pupils equal 6 and sluggishly reactive to 5 bilaterally. Moves all extremities to pain. Secondary survey: Bogginess behind both ears, stepoff behind R ear, bloody discharge from left ear. No other obvious injuries. Resus room imaging: Lateral c-spine XR and CXR negative.

    6. -Developmentally back to baseline. -Improving facial palsy-full resolution will take approximately one year (now able to close her eyes at night.) -Mixed hearing loss in one ear-especially at high frequency. -Limp from iliac buckle fracture resolved completely.

    7. REACH/RCHSD collaboration REACH services facilitates direct transports from scene-decreasing time to pediatric trauma center for critical patients. A goal we had been working toward for many years!! This effort requires: Refined communication with San Diego base stations to optimize communication with receiving hospital prior to arrival. Effective system for REACH documentation to be available to the receiving hospital team and medical record. An open and collaborative approach to PI follow-up. All Achieved!!

    8. REACH/RCHSD collaboration for the future Joint Imperial County education offerings Joint field care audit case presentations
