Abstract
Treatment of patients with multiple injuries has improved in recent years but still remains a major challenge for the treating team. The treatment in the emergency room represents the interface between prehospital and clinical trauma care. Management of patients with multiple injuries in the emergency room aims at a rapid diagnosis and treatment of life-threatening injuries. Adequate trauma care requires not only structural but also human resources. Recommendations are given by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Unfallchirurgie (DGU) for all hospitals. The cooperation of a well-rehearsed trauma team is necessary to guarantee optimal trauma care. Special training concepts [i.e. Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS)®] can help to establish treatment algorithms. An internal and external quality management can increase the efficiency of the treatment of patients with multiple injuries.
