Mattox Conference Pro-Con Debate 2025: Direct to OR Resuscitation

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!
