Article Synopsis
- * While some obesity-related problems in children, like musculoskeletal and skin disorders or sleep apnea, are well-known, others like kidney issues, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and cardiometabolic risks are less recognized due to their gradual onset over time.
- * Additionally, obesity presents significant psychosocial challenges and complicates medical procedures, particularly airway management, highlighting the importance of addressing these issues early in childhood for better long-term health.

Efficacy and outcomes of a highland prehospital trauma response team.

PICT Team, Emergency Department, Raigmore Hospital, Inverness, Highland, UK.
Background And Aims: The Scottish Highlands face unique prehospital care challenges due to population dispersity, mountainous terrain, seasonal weather, and higher trauma burden compared to the nearest Major Trauma Centres (MTCs) as highlighted by the Scottish Trauma Audit Group (STAG). Primary road/air transfer from scene to nearest designated MTC averages 1-5 hours, making prompt and informed utilisation of prehospital and in-hospital resources within the Highlands critical - comparative to other UK metropolitan regions where the trauma population majority lay within 20-45 minute transfer windows. This paper reviews the Highland pre-hospital immediate care and trauma (PICT) Team's trauma response through a retrospective review of PICT patient report forms (PRFs).
