PENN STATE STUDENTS For LIFE Meeting October Bth 9 p.m. 251 Willard Bldg. Hershey Medical Center trauma unit accredited By CHRISTINE KILGORE Collegian Science Writer The University's Hershey Medi cal Center was one of nine hospitals throughout the state to be accred ited as trauma centers last week by the Pennsylvania Trauma Systems Foundation. Carol Forrester, director of the foundation, said Hershey was one of nine hospitals in Pennsylvania to be officially recognized for having the best capacity to treat trauma patients based on standards estab lished by the foundation. Hershey's accreditation as an adult regional trauma center was based on a one-day on-site survey of the center and on an evaluation process spanning several months, Forrester said, adding that 54 hos pitals applied for accreditation and 36 were surveyed. The nine recently-accredited trauma centers are the first in the state to be officially recognized by the foundation, a non-profit cor poration created under the Emer gency Medical Services Act of 1985, she said. John Kays, trauma nurse spe cialist and coordinator at the medi cal center, said the gradual development of official trauma centers throughout the country represents a recognition of the sig nificance of trauma accidental injury. "A lot of people don't understand what trauma is and how predomi n.ant it is," Kays said. "Yet, its significance is overwhelming. It is the leading cause of death among Americans under 45 and falls third `A lot of people don't understand what trauma is and how predominant it is.' in deaft thong an ages, after cancer and heart disease." Trauma; which victimizes about 70 million and disables about 11 million Americans every year, is usually categorized according to causes of injury, such as motor vehicle accidents, falls, drownings, explosions and fires, Kays said. "About 85 percent of trauma patients don't need trauma center care. About 10 percent are on the border line and should be watched carefully in hospitals, and 5 per cent .must be brought directly to trauma centers," Kays said. He added, "But all trauma patients need the availability of basic and advance life support and an emer gency transport system." "The trauma center is not meant to replace the traditional hospital emergency room most trauma patients can be treated in regular • hospitals," Kays said." But it's that small percentage of patients with severe injuries that need (the trau ma center)." Time is crucial throughout the operation of the trauma alert sys tem a three-step process by which patients are brought to and received at the trauma center, Kays said. "If a patient receives treatment at the trauma center within an .hour after an incident happens, The Accounting Club Presents: Opportunities In Industrial Accounting Bill Nichols of Alcoa Wednesday, October 8 26 Mineral Science Bldg. 7:30 p.m. All Students Welcomei 0026 —John Kays, trauma nurse specialist chances of survival are great this is what we call the 'Golden Hour Concept,' " Kays said. The first stage of the trauma alert system is notification, or trauma alert, in which the trauma center is notified that an accident has occurred, he said. "We hear of a patient who may be in need of a trauma team response and are informed of the patient's vital signs, the time he was trapped, and other factors," he said. During stage two, or."stand-by," physicians and nurses at the trau ma center continue to be informed of any changes in the patient's vital signs while the probability of a definite needed response becomes greater, Kays said. Members of various support services, such as radiologists and social workers, are notified during the third stage of response. 'lt's now estimated that arrival time for the patient is five minutes," Kays said. "Everyone who was called before is repaged and all trauma team members report to the emer gency room to receive the patient." Medical procedures to be admin istered are determined by the ex tent of injury, Kays said, adding that shock caused by extensive blood loss occurs with certain types of trauma. Rosenblatt returns to political scene By JAMES A. STEWART Collegian Staff Writer Former USG President David Rosenblatt said he hopes to contin ue the "really good job" that his predecessor, Matthew W. Morgan, began as a student member of the State College Community Devel opment Block Grants Citizens' Ad visory Committee. Rosenblatt was formally ap pointed to replace Morgan on Mon day at the State College Municipal meeting and his term will last until Dec. 31, 1988. Morgan graduated last spring. The committee oversees distri bution of state and federal grants among local government agencies and community groups. Rosenblatt said he sought the post because of Morgan's accom plishments as a committee mem ber and the need to maintain student involvement in local gov ernment's decision process. "I felt that a student should be the one to take the position," Ros enblatt said. "On behalf of the entire community, there should be student input." Rosenblatt mentioned two other student positions in State College Borough one on the Planning AXA • Am • AXA • AX.CI • AXA • Dear Alpha Chi's, < .Melon Bust is over • The games are done • < We'd like to thank you • for all the fun. • You worked real hard • C And did your best < Thanks to you • It was a success. • X Love, < 'Your Coaches, Carmen & Mel 0 AXA • AXQ • AXA • AXO. • AXA Motorists: Watch Those Turns with CHI OMEGA benefiting the American Heart AssociOtion es AM• Bedroll kickoff from Hershey CCA46I(I.

"I hope to contribute input on the student perspective and to see grants go to projects which benefit the entire community," Rosenblatt said. Councilwoman Ruth Lavin said members of council have been con tacting students interested in local government, to notify them of open positions and the nomination proc ess. The Municipal Authorities, Boards and Commissions Commit tee attempted last year to create permanent student seats on bo rough committees, but the motion died in council, Rosenblatt said. Rosenblatt said having students on committees "builds chains be tween committees and the student population and allows us to have a say before the voting takes place . . . when the vote has most im pact." "We're glad the board appointed another student," said Marjorie Utt, president of the Organization for Town Independent Students.

Rosenblatt said he is not sure at this time whether he will stay until the expiration of his term in 1988 but hopes students will continue to maintain the committee position.
