Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Trauma remains the leading cause of death for individuals below the age of 45 and results in loss of productivity. Trauma management requires a multidisciplinary team with experience. Recent advances in trauma and critical care, including new concepts of trauma-induced coagulopathy, transfusion medicine, vascular interventions, imaging technology, and novel devices, may decrease the mortality and morbidity of trauma victims and avoid tragedy.
Rapid and accurate diagnosis with early treatment is the cornerstone of dealing with trauma patients. However, the complexity of patients with multiple traumas and the anarchy of the emergency room make this a challenge. Therefore, the guidelines and algorithms need to be personalized considering age, gender, race, mechanism, the extent and severity of injuries, comorbidities, culture, and other individual factors. Only personalized management will lead to the most favorable outcome.
This Special Issue embraces, but is not limited to the following topics of trauma and acute care surgery, including the diagnosis and treatment algorithm of any specific injured organs, novel technology and the intervention of trauma management, rehabilitation and recovery management of trauma patients, innovation of trauma and critical care, and personalized trauma care.
