Trauma is a major national health problem and is the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 44. Data about the impact of trauma in Louisiana is lacking and there are currently no statewide initiatives for improving trauma care. Louisiana State University Medical Center Hospital in Shreveport (LSUMCH) has recently been licensed and designated by the state as a "primary trauma center." Additionally, the city of Shreveport has enacted a trauma system which preferentially transports major trauma victims to LSUMCH. This is the only such center and system in the state. Based on this experience, it is suggested that development of a network of trauma centers utilizing the resources of the main state teaching hospitals may be a feasible means to upgrade and enhance trauma care in the state.
