Title: CT on arrival

Category: Trauma

Posted: 8/23/2026 by Robert Flint, MD (Updated: 9/1/2026)

This Japanese hospital has a CT scanner hybrid resuscitation room. They did a retrospective study comparing their blunt trauma patients to a Japanese trauma database. Their patients had a shorter time to operative or interventional procedure, slightly less PRBC use over 24 hours and similar 24 hour mortality. 
Interesting concept. Not ready for adoption.
