Review[Strategies diagnosis of polytraumatized adult patients with coma].
To review the diagnostic strategy of management of multiple trauma patient during the first hours. ⋯ The first hours of management of multiple trauma patients are a particular challenge. The first dilemma is to drive the patient toward an adequate structure. In case of poor haemodynamic tolerance, the patient will be drive in the nearest hospital.
