Objectives: To assess the effect of a mobile phone application for prehospital notification on resuscitation and patient outcomes.
Design: Longitudinal prospective cohort study with preintervention and postintervention cohorts.
Setting: Major trauma centre in India.
Background: The completeness of a trauma registry's data is essential for its valid use. This study aimed to evaluate the extent of missing data in a new multicentre trauma registry in India and to assess the association between data completeness and potential predictors of missing data, particularly mortality.
Methods: The proportion of missing data for variables among all adults was determined from data collected from 19 April 2016 to 30 April 2017.
Introduction: Prehospital notification of injured patients enables prompt and timely care in hospital through adequate preparation of trauma teams, space, equipment and consumables necessary for resuscitation, and may improve outcomes. In India, anecdotal reports suggest that prehospital notification, in those few places where it occurs, is unstructured and not linked to a well-defined hospital response. The aim of this manuscript is to describe, in detail, a study protocol for the evaluation of a formalised approach to prehospital notification.

Background: Our existing undergraduate curriculum lacks developing competency for endotracheal intubation. Even though it is a lifesaving procedure, interns are exposed only during their posting in anesthesia or emergency medicine and so, when need arises, they fail to perform endotracheal intubation and it leads to catastrophes.
Aims And Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop competency in interns for endotracheal intubation.
