PIPT Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Advanced Life SupportExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
ALS providers are trained and able to perform certain procedures such as intubation with endotracheal tubes and placement of intravenous catheters. Endotracheal intubation is often performed by pre-hospital providers in critically ill trauma patients because it is believed that it allows for protection of the airway and better delivery of oxygen. However, most studies actually show that intubation does not provide a survival advantage to this patient population and actually could result in worse outcomes. Intravenous catheter placement and administration of intravenous fluids is also routinely performed however, studies have shown that it is also not helpful.
Group II: Basic Life SupportActive Control1 Intervention
Subjects randomized to the study group will receive basic life support (BLS) level care. This means that pre-hospital procedures such as endotracheal intubation and intravenous fluid administration will not be carried out. However, passive oxygen and needle thoracostomy, if required for tension pneumothorax, will be permitted if medically necessary.
