This study aimed to develop a list of in-hospital urgent and specialized trauma care interventions that require direct transport to the highest-level trauma centre within the catchment area.<h4>Methods</h4>Based on a list of potential participants we obtained using data on training, experience, geographic location, affiliations and role within key trauma organizations, we recruited multidisciplinary trauma experts (including prehospital, emergency, surgery and intensive care clinicians, epidemiologists and clinician/decision-makers) from across Canada to complete a 3Canadian journal of surgery.
