Trauma Protocols

Trauma protocols are standardized procedures healthcare providers follow when someone is seriously injured. They help ensure quick, organized care to stabilize the patient, assess injuries, and prevent further harm. These protocols include steps like checking vital signs, supporting breathing and circulation, performing diagnostic tests, and coordinating urgent treatments. The goal is to optimize the patient’s chances of recovery by delivering consistent, efficient care from arrival to definitive treatment, whether it's in an emergency room, trauma center, or during transport.
