These guidelines are published by the Washington State Department of Health on behalf of the Governor-Appointed Steering Committee on Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Care to assist Trauma Care Services. 

The Department of Health does not mandate Washington State Designated Trauma Services to use these guidelines, but offers them to assist Trauma Services in the development of their own guidelines.  The Department recognizes the varying resources of different services and that approaches that work for one trauma service may not be suitable for others.  The decision to use these guidelines in any particular situation always depends on the independent medical judgment of the physician.
