Abstract

The management of polytrauma has evolved considerably in the last century. Advances have been made in all disciplines involved in trauma care from pre-hospital care and resuscitation protocols to diagnostics, surgical techniques, administration of novel pharmacological agents and late reconstruction procedures. Improved understanding of the altered physiology and the induced response at the molecular level offers the potential for novel management strategies and prevention of post-traumatic complications.
