Exclusive versus Inclusive Trauma System Model in High Volume Trauma Regions
Journal Title: Bulletin of Emergency And Trauma - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
rauma is the leading cause of death before age 45 years in developing countries. It has been shown that a sophisticated trauma system will reduce the mortality (up to 15%) and morbidity of the injured people [1-5]. Trauma system consists of an interconnected chain of care from prehospital and hospital management of injured individuals to proper rehabilitation and follow-up cares. Goals of implementing a trauma system are: increasing the likelihood of survival of the injured, reduce the probability of disability and, at the same time, reduce costs. To achieve these, all stakeholders in the chain should play their role, along with implementing regulation and comprehensive legislation by legal authorities [6].
