Multiple trauma represents the most serious type of trauma in which the result of the treatment depends on the quality of pre-hospital care according to ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support) as well as on the availability of emergency specialized care in traumatology centres. Resuscitation in the early post-injury phase involves prevention of the lethal triad (hypothermia, acidosis, coagulopathy) development, as early as during pre-hospital care and also during admission to a traumatology department (damage control resuscitation). Damage control resuscitation involves permissive hypotension and coagulopathy correction with red blood cells (RBCs), fresh frozen plasma and platelets administration with crystalloid solutions restriction. ⋯ Modern therapeutic strategies in mechanical ventilation (protective, non-invasive ventilation). 7. Integration of new imaging methods such as MDCT (Multidetector Computed Tomography). Ensuring complex management in polytrauma treatment requires active cooperation of numerous clinical disciplines, already in the early post-injury period.
