[Polytrauma Management - Treatment of Severely Injured Patients in ER and OR]
Abstract:
The adequate treatment of severely injured patients is challenging and can only be successfully executed when it starts at the accident site and is continued in all treatment phases including the early rehabilitation phase. Treatment should be performed by an interdisciplinary team guided by a trauma surgeon in order to adequately manage the severe injuries some of which are life-threatening. Treatment of polytrauma patients is a key task of certified trauma centers and must follow standardized guidelines. For a successful therapy of severely injured patients lifetime training at regular intervals in well-established polytrauma concepts is a mandatory requirement.
