Primary survey involves checking airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure (ABCDE). Immediate interventions may include securing the airway, controlling bleeding, and stabilizing fractures. Advanced trauma life support (ATLS) principles guide the systematic approach to trauma care. Timely transfer to a trauma center with specialized resources improves outcomes. Multidisciplinary teams including trauma surgeons, emergency physicians, nurses, and specialists collaborate for comprehensive care. Rehabilitation plays a vital role in restoring function and quality of life post-trauma. Psychological support is essential for both patients and their families coping with the aftermath of major trauma. Prevention strategies such as seatbelt use, fall prevention measures, and violence reduction programs are critical in reducing the incidence of major trauma. Public awareness campaigns educate communities about the importance of safety measures and prompt response in case of emergencies. Research into trauma management techniques and innovations in medical technology continually advance the field. Trauma registries help track outcomes and identify areas for improvement in trauma care systems. Continued training and education for healthcare professionals ensure readiness to provide optimal care for major trauma patients.
