ABSTRACT

SUMMARY Trauma is a global social problem, with the number of deaths up to 5.8 million all over the world annually.Currently, severe trauma has become the first cause of death in young adults in China. Nowadays, there are many problems in the trauma rescue system, including long pre-hospital transfer pe-riod , several secondary transfers, no information exchange between pre-hospital and in-hospital care, and the poor integrated treatment, which results in the situation that the overall treatment level of severe trau -ma in China is relatively low.In order to solve these problems, we carried out the research and promotion of severe trauma rescue standard, involving completing severe trauma information database , providing lo-cal rescue medical workers with standard training , and building up the information system for the linkage and warning of severe trauma.In addition, we developed and promoted the new standard system for se -vere trauma in 15cities with 124 medical centers.Due to our research, the treatment ability of severe trauma in the pilot areas was enhanced, and the mortality and morbidity of severe trauma were reduced significantly.To sum up, we had got the expected results after implementing the project .
