This study reveals significant racial disparities in prehospital interventions among injured patients, with Black patients receiving fewer critical interventions like airway management and intubation compared to their white counterparts, which may translate to higher mortality risks.

• Black patients received prehospital intubation in only 4.0% of cases versus 7.9% for other races and 7.9% for white patients.
• Those in socially disadvantaged areas were less likely to receive necessary interventions such as prehospital airway management.

Given that effective interventions can reduce in-hospital mortality by 30-37%, addressing these disparities could improve outcomes for marginalized groups. Further research is imperative to uncover root causes and develop targeted interventions.
