    • The Chain of Survival. Studies of a prehospital trauma system in Iraq 

      Murad, Mudhafar Karim (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2013-09-06)
      Most trauma deaths in war occur outside hospital, in the mine fields and on the way to hospital. To improve survival, a prehospital trauma system was set up in 1997 by the PhD candidate with trauma experts from UNN in the minefields of North Iraq. The model worked well and reduced death rates from 40% to 10%. The model was further refined and adapted to manage highway traffic casualties, and in 2003 ...

    • Prehospital trauma care reduces mortality : ten-year results from a time-cohort and trauma audit study in Iraq 

      Murad, Mudhafar Karim; Larsen, Stig; Husum, Hans (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Background Blunt implementation of Western trauma system models is not feasible in low-resource communities with long prehospital transit times. The aims of the study were to evaluate to which extent a low-cost prehospital trauma system reduces trauma deaths where prehospital transit times are long, and to identify specific life support interventions that contributed to survival. Methods In ...
