Trauma Protocol
A "Trauma Protocol" is a set of guidelines used by medical professionals to assess and treat patients who have experienced severe injuries or psychological distress. These protocols ensure that care is delivered quickly and effectively, prioritizing life-threatening conditions and stabilizing the patient before further treatment.
In emergency situations, the Trauma Protocol typically involves a systematic approach, including initial assessment, resuscitation, and transportation to a medical facility. It may also include psychological support for those affected by traumatic events, addressing both physical and emotional needs to promote recovery.
