Every spring for over 50 years, the Trauma, Critical Care, and Acute Care Surgery conference, best known simply as the MATTOX conference, is held in Las Vegas (https://www.trauma-criticalcare.com/). The conference is unique in that it is entirely focused on practice-changing clinical education. It’s a damn good time too! A favorite feature is the annual debates. Today, we are featuring a showdown between Drs. Teddy Puzo and Joseph Dubois as they battle it out over the use of a DIRECT TO OR TRAUMA RESUSCITATION STRATEGY. You can listen on the podcast or watch the debate with accompanying slides on our website or app. Let's get ready to RUMMMBLLLEEEE!
