Assessment of polytrauma patient management in India
ATLS adherence in 250 polytrauma patients in India is of interest. While airway control and cervical spine immobilization were timely, delays in CT imaging and suboptimal transfusion ratios (PRBC: FFP = 1.5:1) were noted. Patients with ISS > 25 had significantly longer imaging times and higher mortality (21% vs. 9%). Overall, in-hospital mortality was 14%. Dedicated trauma teams and protocol optimization are recommended for improved outcomes.
