Abstract

Injuries are a leading contributor to increased mortality and impairment across the globe. The majority of the currently available strategies for the control of injuries concentrate either on primary prevention, which refers to the avoidance of injuries or the reduction of their intensity, or on secondary prevention, which refers to the provision of appropriate medical reaction to improve treatment and, as a result, minimize damage following an injury. In many situations, the provision of timely emergency treatment and the quick transfer of wounded victims from the scene of an accident to a health care facility can save lives, decrease the prevalence of shortterm impairment, and significantly improve the long-term outcomes. Sadly, in many areas of the globe, there is not the infrastructure in place to be able to provide even the most fundamental of medical services. In the year 2000, a group of international specialists who were present at a special conference that was organized by the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva reached the consensus that there is an urgent requirement to improve both the quality and availability of prehospital trauma treatment networks all over the world. They suggested a collaboration that would determine the essential strategies, instruments, supplies, and organizational structures required to establish effective and customizable prehospital care systems for wounded individuals all over the globe. This would allow them to accomplish their goal of achieving this objective. The completion of this objective is represented by this document. It focuses on the most potential interventions and components of prehospital trauma care systems, specifically those that require minimal training and comparatively little in the way of apparatus or materials. Specifically, it focuses on those that require minimal training. No matter the number of resources that are at one's disposal, these components have the potential to and should already constitute the basis of any emergency care system. Once these components have been implemented, additional components may be introduced at the discretion of local, regional, or national managers and policy-makers, contingent on the availability of resources and a clear comprehension of the probable costs and benefits of each intervention. This may be done at any level, from the local to the national level. In addition to that, this document contains recommended organizational strategies for instruction, record-keeping, supervision, and responsibility.
