YAS crews may on occasions (rarely) bring us a Major Trauma patient that meets the criteria for bypass to the MTC because they have a problem that the crew cannot manage, or they won’t survive to LGI e.g. an unmanageable airway/ incompressible haemorrhage. In these instances we will get a pre-alert either from the crew or more likely the Major Trauma Triage Co-ordinator in EOC with some information but primarily the reason the patient is coming to us.
