Abstract
Trauma incidents in mountainous areas commonly feature significantly increased out-of-hospital time which is associated with a more severe ISS, higher risk of accidental hypothermia and more frequent hypotension compared to urban/suburban trauma. Nonetheless, the mortality rate of IATR patients is comparable to urban/suburban trauma patients.
