MAIN BODY
The trauma patient is the one which suffers any physical injury that may be serious,
minor or life threatening. Traumatic injury is the one which may range from the small lesions to
the life threatening injury in multi organs. Physical trauma can be a wound in body which I
produced by the sudden injury from violence, impact or accident. The severity of the trauma is
classified according to injury type, number of injuries and the physical location of it. If any
person has multi trauma or severe injuries, it would then be classified as the major trauma and
these patients experience serious complications such as haemorrhage, failure of multi organ and
infection.
The first who responds to the trauma emergencies are the air rescue services or
ambulance paramedics. They usually provide the care at the scene of accident and during transfer
of patient to the hospital. Mainly the decision to take the patient to the specific hospital depends
mainly on the type of injury, distance to hospital and whether the trauma patient is child or adult.
Trauma is considered as the leading cause of the critical illness and even death (Fröhlich and et.
al., 2019).
There are major networks of trauma which has been recently formulated in England in
order to give optimal management of people who are severely injured. There are many problems
which are being faced in the trauma carte in UK and the state is planning to have reorganisation
of the same in order to address the deficiencies. This shall be based on improved outcomes and
survival when the severely injured patients are present to the specialised centre.
