Description

How to approach a patient presenting with polytrauma

Objectives

Assess a patient’s condition rapidly and accurately. Resuscitate and stabilize patients according to priority. Determine whether a patient’s needs exceed the resources of a facility and/or the capability of a provider. Arrange appropriately for a patient’s interhospital or intrahospital transfer. Ensure that optimal care is provided and that the level of care does not deteriorate at any point during the evaluation, resuscitation, or transfer process.
