About Trauma

Trauma care in an Emergency and Trauma setting is a specialized, multidisciplinary medical response to severe, life-threatening injuries. It involves a systematic, rapid assessment and treatment protocol known as the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) approach, which prioritizes immediate threats to life: airway, breathing, circulation, disability (neurological status), and exposure/environment. This critical care is delivered by a dedicated team of emergency physicians, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and nurses in a fully equipped trauma bay. The goal is to stabilize the patient, diagnose all injuries through advanced imaging and procedures, and initiate definitive surgical or medical treatment to prevent death or long-term disability. This coordinated, immediate intervention is crucial for improving survival rates and functional outcomes following major accidents, falls, or violent incidents.

Key Highlights

    Provides immediate, life-saving interventions using the standardized ATLS protocol.Involves a coordinated, multi-specialty team for comprehensive injury management.Utilizes advanced on-site diagnostics like FAST ultrasound and CT scans for rapid assessment.Aims to stabilize critical patients to enable definitive surgical or medical care.Focuses on preventing secondary complications like shock, infection, or organ failure.
