Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The management of trauma and emergency medicine share a broad overlap in their management priorities and respective challenges. Importantly, in both fields, time is of the essence to prevent and limit morbidity and mortality. The initial treatment in both fields focuses on the restoration and stabilization of vital functions, rather than a definitive therapy of the underlying disease. Furthermore, a broad overlap also exists in the organizational approach to both fields: Severe trauma and emergency medical cases are regularly treated before arrival in the hospital already, e.g., by paramedics or prehospital emergency physicians. Also, within the hospital, the initial organizational approach overlaps, with severe trauma cases and emergency medicine cases being presented in the emergency department and usually treated initially by a multidisciplinary team according to international guidelines. After stating those shared aspects to underline why both topics fit and complement each other within one Special Issue, it is also obvious that both fields are highly diverse, and many facets hereof may be presented in this upcoming Special Issue. Thus, it is the aim of this Special Issue to highlight recent advances in trauma care and emergency medicine, including pre-hospital care, the emergency department, the operating room, and the intensive care unit.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to:
- Organizational aspects of trauma care and emergency medicine;
- Approaches to life-threatening conditions;
- Diagnostics, including ultrasonography and monitoring vital functions;
- Fluid resuscitation and emergency (surgical) procedures;
- Cardiopulmonary resuscitation;
- Emergency anesthesia and critical care;
- Application of novel technologies, e.g., drones or artificial intelligence;
- Trauma care and emergency care in the austere environment.
We welcome high-quality original studies (clinical and experimental), well-designed meta-analyses, and informative reviews. We look forward to your contribution.
