Abstract:
The specialized care provided at the trauma centre in Baltimore, Maryland, in the USA is described. By means of a sophisticated communications system, prehospital and hospital care are coordinated with a view to providing optimal care to people with various types of injuries. It is suggested how the American experience might be applied to conditions in the Nordic countries in order to improve the quality of trauma care.
