Kasuistik interaktiv: Polytrauma nach Verkehrsunfall - Präklinische und frühe klinische Versorgung

Abstract

We report the case of a 30 year old driver of a car who was jammed after a severe traffic accident. In a step-by-step description of the out-of-hospital and early clinical management of the patient, the case report focuses on diagnostic, therapeutic, and strategic issues. Current controversies in the management of patients with combined thoracic and abdominal trauma are discussed in the light of recent literature.
