- Figure 1
Mean number of activations by day. Saturdays had significantly more activations than any other day of the week (Saturday: 26.0/year, Other: 14.8/year, p<0.01). TTAs, trauma team activations.
- Figure 2
Number of activations per 3-hour interval. 15:00–18:00 (27.0/year, p<0.01) and 18:00–21:00 (27.2/year, p<0.01) had significantly more activations than average. 03:00–06:00 (2.0/year, p<0.01) and 06:00–09:00 (5.6/year, p=0.011) had significantly less. TTAs, trauma team activations.
