Multiply Injured Patient

This chapter gives an overview of the assessment of patients presenting to an emergency department with injuries to head or neck (above the collar bones). The Advanced Trauma Life Support® (ATLS®) programme is now widely accepted as the gold standard in trauma management, but its strict application to patients with coexisting facial injuries can result in a number of dilemmas and complex decision-making. These issues are discussed. The approach to head and neck injuries remains the same as for the multiply injured patient but those aspects related specifically to injuries to the head and neck are discussed in detail. Emergency procedures undertaken in head and neck injuries are also discussed. Useful clinical signs and symptoms indicating significant injuries are listed at the end of the chapter.

The Impact

Management of trauma has been tackled at a national level to improve patient care and mortality. Decision making through a multidisciplinary team approach has resulted in improved patient outcomes through a complex combination of changes. While the focus of trauma care delivery has been towards establishing an effective multidisciplinary trauma service, there are still improvements which can be made. This article reviews the history of trauma care in the UK, and the impact that multidisciplinary teams have had on the management of the multiply injured patient.
