Trauma Management

Trauma management is a set of protocol or practice guidelines to help practitioners deal with acutely injured patients. It includes the following steps: Initial evaluation and treatment (resuscitation, intubation, ventilation, hemodynamics, and shock), Physical examination (evaluation of injured part), Radiological evaluation, Angiographic evaluation and magnetic resonance imaging. The key to success behind treating a traumatic patient is the understanding of the immediate priorities.
