Sažetak
In the last two decades polytrauma is compared with the epidemic and the phrase
»trauma disease« is used, classifying it in the third place of general population mortality
and in the first place in the age group from 1-44 years. Due to the complexity of the injuries
and insufficiently explained patient response to the trauma itself and to the therapeutic
procedures, treatment of polytraumatized patients is one of the most demanding in the
modern medicine. The algorithms are of great help in the modern polytrauma treatment
and by using it we achieve better results and reduce omissions and errors to a minimum.
The basic principle of polytraumatized patients treatment is that it starts at the site of the
accident and continues during the transport and after arrival to the hospital with the fundamental
rule that the diagnostic and treatment procedures are performed simultaneously.
Establishing a trauma registry and constantly evaluating the results of patients treatment
are one of the main preconditions for the establishment of the first level trauma centre and
improving care quality of polytraumatized patients.
