Key result
Interdisciplinary priority-based trauma protocols may reduce immediate and delayed mortality and morbidity.
Why the study?
Complex problems of trauma patients require rapid, prioritized treatment to minimize errors and improve outcomes, but an organized approach is needed to reduce mortality and morbidity.
An organized, protocol-driven approach by an interdisciplinary team is essential for reducing mortality and morbidity in polytraumatized patients.
May support protocolized interdisciplinary trauma care; leaves open need for prospective validation.
Complex problems of trauma patients are a challenge for physicians. Numerous violations of these patients require a rapid response by the principle of priority in which errors are reduced to a minimum. For the treatment of trauma patients is necessary to have knowledge, experience and skills of physicians to quickly and comprehensively understand the injured and said to him timely assistance. Treatment is carried out, focusing on priority, following protocol of procedures that doctors systematically takes from the most serious to minor injuries. These patients are managed by interdisciplinary team of health workers, in which everyone has to know their place and duties. At the head of the team is the most experienced doctor that defines the order of procedures during the initial treatment. Only an organized approach to pandemic problem of trauma patients may have a positive impact on reducing the immediate and delayed mortality and morbidity of injured. This paper review approach to the trauma patient with initial care, based on priorities and follow a protocol that provides the greatest efficacy in the treatment.

Milanović et al. (2018) conducted a review in Polytrauma. Priority-based protocol for initial care was evaluated. An organized, priority-based protocol approach to the initial care of trauma patients by an interdisciplinary team may positively impact immediate and delayed mortality and morbidity.
