Most changes involve wording, making it more clear
‘Defined Trauma Region’
‘Chest wall instability or deformity’ Had been ‘flail chest’
‘Pulseless extremity’
Adds vehicle ‘roof intrusion’
Elderly patient considerations Systolic BP < 110 may represent shock
Low Impact MOIs may cause serious injury
Removes Dialysis considerations and ‘Time Sensitive Extremity Injury’
