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

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

Kays said.

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

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

"I hope to contribute input on the

said.
Councilwoman Ruth Lavin said

tee attempted last year to create
permanent student seats on bo

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

"We're glad the board appointed

had also agreed to discuss impor
tant issues-with OTIS.
"It's really important to keep the
communication (lines) open," Utt
said.
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.
