Trauma care needs coordinated, time-sensitive approach, say experts

The Hyderabad chapter of International Trauma Care (ITC) recently organized a Continuing Medical Education (CME) programme on trauma care at Osmania General Hospital (OGH). The event aimed to address the growing burden of trauma and the need for a coordinated, time-sensitive approach in managing trauma patients. The CME program covered various aspects of trauma management, including initial assessment, pre-hospital care challenges, damage-control resuscitation, surgery, airway management, pelvic trauma, and ocular trauma.

Specialists from different medical fields shared their current practices and approaches to trauma care, and a live demonstration showcased primary and secondary trauma surveys using a moulaged standard trauma patient with head and femur injuries.
