AB Trauma  accounts  for  41  million  annual  ED  visits  and  2.3  million  hospital  admissions  across  the  United  States.  Trauma  is  the  number  one  cause  of  death  for  Americans  between  age  1  and  44  years  and  is  the  number  three  cause  of  death  overall.1  In  all  countries,  the  incidence  of  death  from  injury  increases  more  than  threefold  with  increasing  poverty.  For  the  90%  of  patients  who  survive  the  initial  trauma,  the  burden  of  ongoing  morbidity  from  traumatic  brain  injury,  loss  of  limb  function,  and  ongoing  pain  is  even  more  significant.
