    AbstractIn industrially developed countries, trauma is the major mortality factor for people younger than 40 years. The preclinical management of polytraumatized patients influences the prognosis of mortality and morbidity. In this period, a number of decisions have to be made under unfavourable conditions and with limited time. This situation represents a great challenge for the whole rescue team. Diagnostic overview, protection of the vital functions under the special situation of shock, immobilization of the spine and the treatment of the isolated injuries are part of the preclinical management efforts. Rescue of the polytraumatized patient, organization and announcement of transfer and the protection of the rescue team have to be taken into account.
