UPDATE ON SOME CURRENT KNOWLEDGE OF PATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND STRATEGIES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF POLYTRAUMA
Main Article Content
Abstract
Polytrauma is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in young people, especially in the condition of traffic accidents that do not tend to decrease. For survivors, polytrauma leaves long-term sequelae with a disturbing impact on quality of life and work. This is still a major public health concern globally because of the loss of people, and the cost of emergency treatment is relatively high. Nearly 80% of polytrauma deaths occur within hours to days of injury, usually from severe traumatic brain or internal organs and then from shock or hypoxia. The development of strategies and models of trauma care for the management of polytrauma, including pre-hospital interventions, have led to improvements in outcomes and mortality over the last few decades. Resuscitation and surgical or orthopedic damage control are key pillars in the management of polytrauma patients. Disorders in the pathophysiology of polytrauma need to be recognized early so that appropriate management strategies can be undertaken. In this paper, we describe several evolving strategies in the management of polytrauma.
