Assessment of polytrauma patient management in India

Key Points

In-hospital mortality rate reached 14%, indicating critical management issues in polytrauma cases.
Patients with an Injury Severity Score above 25 faced a 21% mortality rate compared to just 9% in those below this threshold.
Optimization of transfusion ratios is necessary, as the current PRBC to FFP ratio stands at 1.5:1.
Dedicated trauma teams are essential for improving emergency response and management in polytrauma scenarios.

Abstract

ATLS adherence in 250 polytrauma patients in India is of interest. While airway control and cervical spine immobilization were timely, delays in CT imaging and suboptimal transfusion ratios (PRBC: FFP = 1.5:1) were noted. Patients with ISS > 25 had significantly longer imaging times and higher mortality (21% vs. 9%). Overall, in-hospital mortality was 14%. Dedicated trauma teams and protocol optimization are recommended for improved outcomes.
