Objective: We evaluated the benefit of emergency medical services providers' placing a second intravenous (IV) line in the prehospital trauma setting. Our hypothesis was that the placement of a second IV catheter in trauma does not result in an improvement in heart rate, blood pressure, rehospitalizaton rate, or 30-day mortality.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of 320 trauma patients in a one-year period was conducted at our level I trauma center.
