Abstract
Trauma remains the leading cause of death in individuals less than 45 years. Management of major trauma is protocol driven around the world. Most protocols are in line with the popular Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) principles. These principles have been adjudged to be safe and consistent even in the presence of infectious diseases while employing standard precautions. In view of the current community spread, large cases of COVID 19 in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and the magnitude of the infectivity, it has become necessary to adjust our local trauma resuscitation protocols in order to ensure the safety of the trauma team and the trauma patients as well.
