Abstract
This chapter outlines the essential requirements for emergency responses to severe injuries. It emphasises the critical steps healthcare professionals must take in urgent situations, including: Rapid assessment and triage to prioritise treatment; Techniques for controlling massive external haemorrhages to prevent life-threatening blood loss; Maintaining a clear airway, ventilation, and neck stabilisation to support breathing and minimise spinal injury risks; Intravenous fluid replacement and medication administration to stabilise patients' conditions; Proper immobilisation of injuries to prevent further harm during transportation; Facilitating rapid and effective transfers to specialised medical centres, with clear communication ensuring seamless continuity of care. By adhering to these protocols, healthcare providers can efficiently navigate emergency situations, saving lives and minimising the long-term impact of critical injuries and illnesses.
期刊介绍：
The European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery aims to open an interdisciplinary forum that allows for the scientific exchange between basic and clinical science related to pathophysiology, diagnostics and treatment of traumatized patients. The journal covers all aspects of clinical management, operative treatment and related research of traumatic injuries.
Clinical and experimental papers on issues relevant for the improvement of trauma care are published. Reviews, original articles, short communications and letters allow the appropriate presentation of major and minor topics.
