Team Approach: The Unstable Trauma Patient.

» A multidisciplinary, integrated, and synergistic team approach to the unstable polytrauma patient is critical to optimize outcomes, minimize morbidity, and reduce mortality.» The use of Advanced Trauma Life Support protocols helps standardize the assessment and avoid missing critical injuries» Effective and open dialog with consulting specialists is paramount for effective team-based care.» Orthopaedic surgeons should play an important role in the rapid assessment of potentially life-threatening and/or limb-threatening injuries including pelvic ring disruption, open fractures with substantial blood loss, and dysvascular limbs.
