[The challenges faced in the field of trauma care in China]

With the continuous development of China's urbanization and socio-economic, death and disability caused by trauma has increased prominently, and trauma has become the first cause of death in the people younger than 45 years old. Compared with the treatment of other diseases, China are facing many problems and challenges in terms of trauma treatment, specifically focused in three areas: First, the medical profession and society had not attach enough attention to trauma; Second, trauma centers in our country is insufficient; The level of trauma care vary greatly between different regions, the doctors and nurses commitment to trauma care lack of standardized training; Third, scientific treatment process and treatment system that compliance with international standards and meet the geographical features of China is insufficient. In view of the above situation and existing problems, learn from the successful experience of foreign countries, we think we should proceed from the following three aspects to change the status of China's treatment of trauma gradually: First of all, we should establish Traumatology that deals with the treatment of serious wounds and injuries. Secondly we should establish the right trauma care system that suitable for China's conditions; The third point is the establishment of trauma specialist training system composed by "basic training" and "targeted training"; Final we should establish severe trauma multidisciplinary treatment team model in the process of trauma care. Thereby improving our overall level of trauma treatment through above means, reduce the disability and mortality caused by trauma, thus promoting the development of trauma forward.
