Comprehensive Trauma Care: Why Every Second Counts
MEDAZ Hospital, Patna – Advanced Trauma and Emergency Care Center
Introduction
Trauma is one of the leading causes of death and disability in India, especially among the younger population. In a country with rising road accidents, industrial injuries, and fall-related emergencies, trauma care must be swift, systematic, and specialized.
At MEDAZ Hospital, Patna, we understand that every second matters when it comes to saving lives and restoring functionality.
What is Trauma Care?
Trauma care refers to the immediate and specialized medical response provided to patients with serious physical injuries such as:
- Head injuries
- Spinal cord trauma
- Chest or abdominal wounds
- Polytrauma (multiple injuries)
- Orthopedic fractures and burns
These cases require rapid intervention, multidisciplinary support, and advanced infrastructure—exactly what MEDAZ Hospital is equipped for.
Why Every Second Counts – The Golden Hour
The Golden Hour is the first 60 minutes after a traumatic injury. According to global trauma protocols, if appropriate treatment is administered during this hour, the chances of survival increase dramatically.
Delayed response can result in:
- Irreversible brain or organ damage
- Prolonged ICU stay
- Increased cost and disability
- Risk of death due to haemorrhage or shock
MEDAZ Hospital’s trauma team is trained to act immediately, 24×7.
