The NSW Trauma App is a vital clinical tool designed to support medical professionals across New South Wales in delivering timely, evidence-based trauma care. Whether in metropolitan hospitals or remote field settings, this application equips clinicians with standardized resources to optimize patient outcomes throughout the trauma care continuum.
Key Features:
• Localized Guideline Repository: Access guidelines from NSW Health, Ambulance Service of NSW, and trauma services, all referenced from public domains.
• Burn Injury Resources: Developed in collaboration with the NSW Burn Injury Network, this section includes specialized guidelines, checklists, and support tools for managing burn injuries.
• Interactive Burns Calculator: Accurately determine total body surface area (TBSA) affected by burns using an interactive body chart. The tool also calculates fluid requirements, expected urine output, and maintenance fluids based on weight and time since injury.
• Health Facility Information: Details for over 200 facilities—including services, resources, and contacts—help clinicians make location-specific decisions, reducing delays in patient transfers and treatment.
• Medical Calculators and Checklists: Streamline clinical decisions with integrated calculators, interactive checklists, and timestamps to support both adult and pediatric trauma care.
Benefits:
The app enhances care standardization, provides quick access to clinical tools, and supports clinicians in low-connectivity environments. It improves patient experience through timely, evidence-guided interventions and reduces unwarranted variation in trauma management.
Ideal for doctors, nurses, paramedics, and allied health professionals in NSW, the NSW Trauma App is an essential digital companion for anyone committed to excellence in trauma care.
