Characteristics and construction requirements of trauma resuscitation bay in China / 中华创伤杂志

ABSTRACT

Severe trauma is almost caused by a high energy damage, with a high incidence rate of multiple injuries. Reasonable assessment and resuscitation in hospital at early stage is key to successful care. Trauma resuscitation bay（TRB）is the primary area for early assessment and resuscitation in hospital, which can ensure the rapid rescue to the greatest extent. At present, the early treatment for patients with severe trauma is mainly conducted in the emergency room, which presents many disadvantages that may lead to a decline in the quality of early treatment of trauma. For example, in the limited space, a resucue team is unable to carry out, and bedside radiographic examinations, life-saving operations and rescue for internal emergency patients are affected. With the development of trauma center construction, TRB specifically for early assessment, resuscitation and emergency management of severe trauma comes into being. According to the characters of China's trauma rescue system, the authors illustrate the characteristics, advantages, functions and operational requirements of TRB, the components of TRB at different levels of trauma centers, and the status of TRB construction in China, so as to provide a reference for the construction of TRB at various levels.
