POLYTRAUMA
Polytrauma occurs when a person experiences injuries to multiple body parts and organ systems often, but not always, as a result of blast-related events.
As an Orthopedic surgeon, we have to deal with many trauma patient in our hospital every day. Fracture of limbs are most commonly found damage which occurs from high velocity injury.
If there is involvement of more than one system of body/multiple fracture across body it is called polytrauma.
- These days because of increasing incidence of high velocity Road traffic accidents we get many patients of polytrauma.
- They are very much different from routine fracture patients and they require Team Approach (which also includes Intensivists, Vascular surgeon, Neuro surgeon as well).
- They also require ICU care and longer stay so better treated at tertiary care hospitals.
