Trauma Emergencies and Care
Welcome to the Trauma Emergencies and Care section of our website. This course will teach you about the mechanics and physics of damage to the human body, as well as how it can lead to injury. You'll continue to add medical language to your new vocabulary and learn how to explain the many injuries you'll encounter. You'll also learn about the trauma system and when transporting patients to a trauma center is necessary.
Then they'll go over specific injuries based on whatever portion of the body is involved - or trauma by the system. Trauma patients require distinct considerations based on how and where they were injured. Of course, you'll learn how to conduct a normal history and physical examination on a trauma patient.
Finally, you'll learn about mass casualty incidents, or MCIs, which you hope to never experience. These are situations in which you may have several patients, and you must take an organized and particular approach as a physician.
