Abstract
These data show that although using 911 EMS for re-triage is associated with an increase in total transport time, it does not result in an increase in mortality compared with direct EMS transport. We conclude that the use of 911 EMS can be considered a safe method to re-triage patients to higher-level trauma centers.
