SUMMARY
Trauma is the leading cause of death in patients under the age of 44 years. An organized, systematic approach to the care of these patients can improve patient survival. This organized approach begins initially with efforts to prevent injury from occurring. When injury does occur, the organized and systematic response of the entire health care delivery team, beginning in the prehospital setting, will help decrease the morbidity and mortality of traumatic injury.
