Pre-activation of 4-6 min resulted in all but blood transfusion TCCAs being <15 min. Furthermore, mid pre-activation category corresponded to the most efficient trauma teams, with nTCCAs significantly shorter (median=0.75 (IQR 0.3-1.3)) than long (median=1 (IQR 0.6-2)) or short activation groups (median=1 (IQR 0.6-1.6)).
