    AbstractDeath caused by trauma is a major social problem in both the military and the civilian world. The goal is to reduce injuries and deaths to acceptable limits. Thus, healthcare providers should have the necessary information on trauma and resuscitation and be aware of current principles of approach to trauma patients. Early life-saving procedures in the trauma setting, damage control surgeries performed by an advanced line of surgical teams, and improvement in medical evacuation systems provide effective treatment in trauma casualties and reduce the mortality rate. Significant changes have occurred recently in the treatment of trauma cases. In our study, we aimed to search the literature in order to describe the principles of proper medical approach, to review the operational strategies recommended in the field and to develop a consensus to the extent possible.
