    AbstractIt has been estimated that one fourth to one third of the deaths from trauma could be prevented by more effective initial care. The majority of traumatized patients who present to the emergency department do not have life-threatening injuries and may be assessed in an orderly manner. Roughly 10 per cent of patients will have life-threatening injuries, however, and speed in assessment, diagnosis, and therapy is crucial to their survival.
