trauma activation and stratification

[Doug Condit Jr]

  Ante:

  You bring up a good point, for a possible study :>)

  One, when I had a paper on blunt cardiac trauma under review, one of the
  reviewers asked the question:
  What is the incidence of acute MI (coronary syndrome)
  causing an auto accident, etc  <as opposed to the incidence of
  cardiac trauma as a result of the accident>.

  could you be kind to say who exacly is a part of your hospital's trauma
  team, besides nurses?what is then role of emergency medicine phyicians,
  becouse it is after all their department. l'm not saying that incapable
  staff should treat the patient, but just that EM docs should be engaged in
  treatment, and even play very significant role in hole process, at least
  while the patient is on their department. not all trauma patients are
  just trauma patients,and they might be having a coronary artery disease,
  whose acute onset caused trauma in the first place. and also airway
  managment and other non-surgical measures that politraumatized patient
  needs.l'm just saying that there's more to treating trauma then just
  operating.
