Abstract

The factor “time” plays a decisive role in the emergency care of traumatized patients. In many cases, there is minimal time for preoperative diagnosis. These patients are not only healthy adults or children, but also pregnant women, patients with severe diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular or respiratory diseases. The prognosis of these injured persons is adversely influenced by already existing diseases [1]. Patients with previous cardiovascular, central nervous and hematological diseases present the highest mortality rate after trauma.
