    AimThe study aimed at detecting relations between the quality and duration of prehospital care in the case of traumatic patients and the duration of artificial respiration and ICU stay times.Design94 traumatic patients, admitted to the intensive care unit, were subdivided into groups according to the type of trauma. The mean time of prehospital care, injury severity score, the Apache II at the admission to the clinic and the discharge to the ICU, intraoperative replacement of blood and clinical care times were calculated.ResultIn the group of all patients, times of the ICU-stay were correlated to the ISS and the Apache II of the hospital admission. In the group with multiple fractures, a positive correlation to the prehospital care times was found.DiscussionQuality and duration of the prehospital care were identified as factors, influencing the time of the ICU stay. Optimizing these factors will be helpful in respect of economic considerations.
