Guidelines for Essential Trauma Care



Injury has become a major cause of death and disability worldwide.
Organized approaches to its prevention and treatment are needed. These
guidelines seek to set achievable standards for trauma treatment
services which could realistically be made available to almost every
injured person in the world. They then seek to define the resources
that would be necessary to assure such care. The authors of the
guidelines have developed a series of resource tables for essential
trauma care that detail the human and physical resources that should be
in place to assure optimal care of the injured patient at the range of
health facilities throughout the world, from rural health posts, to
small hospitals, to hospitals staffed by specialists, to tertiary care
centres. They also take into account the varying resource availability
across the spectrum of low- and middle-income countries. Finally, a
series of recommendations is made on methods to promote such standards
including training, performance improvement, trauma team organization
and hospital inspection. The resource tables and associated
recommendations are intended to provide a template to assist individual
countries in organizing and enhancing their own trauma treatment
systems. It is anticipated that the template will be adapted to suit
local circumstances.
