Abstract

Trauma is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Trauma is caused by external forces that lead to physical injuries. These physical injuries require prompt and comprehensive care to optimize patient outcomes. Trauma care is a medical field that encompasses a range of medical interventions and involves a multidisciplinary approach, with various healthcare providers working together to provide comprehensive treatment, and to address the diverse needs of patients affected by traumatic injuries. Trauma anesthesiology is a specialized field focused on the care and management of patients with traumatic injuries. Trauma anesthesiologists require broad medical knowledge and diverse skills to navigate high-pressure and time-limited environments. They perform various procedures including advanced airway management, vital signs monitoring, pain management, fluid regulation, and resuscitation. Furthermore, they are able to effectively communicate with healthcare team members. Hence, trauma anesthesiology plays a vital role in comprehensive care for patients with traumatic injuries.

Abstract (croatian)

Trauma je jedan od vodećih uzroka morbiditeta i mortaliteta u cijelom svijetu. Traumu uzrokuju vanjske sile koje dovode do fizičkih ozljeda. Ove fizičke ozljede zahtijevaju brzu i sveobuhvatnu skrb kako bi se optimizirali ishodi za pacijenta. Skrb za politraumatiziranog bolesnika je područje koje obuhvaća niz medicinskih intervencija i uključuje multidisciplinarni pristup, s različitim pružateljima zdravstvenih usluga koji rade zajedno kako bi pružili sveobuhvatno liječenje i odgovorili na različite potrebe pacijenata pogođenih traumatskim ozljedama. Traumatološka anesteziologija je specijalizirano područje usmjereno na skrb i liječenje pacijenata s traumatskim ozljedama. Traumatološki anesteziolozi zahtijevaju široko medicinsko znanje i različite vještine za snalaženje u napetim situacijama i vremenski ograničenim uvjetima. Oni izvode različite postupke uključujući napredno upravljanje dišnim putovima, praćenje vitalnih znakova, upravljanje bolovima, regulaciju tekućine i reanimaciju. Nadalje, sposobni su učinkovito komunicirati s članovima zdravstvenog tima. Stoga traumatološka anesteziologija igra ključnu ulogu u sveobuhvatnoj skrbi za pacijente s traumatskim ozljedama.
