Traumatic Injuries Require Fast Assessment and Treatment

When a patient suffers a traumatic injury, every minute counts. Injuries such as blunt trauma, ballistic trauma (bullet wounds), complex trauma and fractures, spinal cord and head trauma must be evaluated and rapidly moved to the appropriate level of care.

• Blunt trauma and penetrating extremity
• Pelvis trauma
• Facial trauma
