The initial management of patients with multiple trauma requires a well-defined plan of action for immediate and adequate therapy, that ensures fast recognition of life-threatening conditions and injuries. While treatment protocols for specific situations and injuries are fairly well defined, there are few such concepts for the overall management process. Therefore, we designed a comprehensive algorithm for in-hospital trauma care to give priority-based guidelines to the trauma room physician. The full management plan (diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in sequence) is implemented in seven flow charts. The first algorithm starts with the initial assessment of immediate life-threatening disorders of A (airways), B (breathing) and C (circulation) and is followed by the early stabilization and maintenance of vital functions. It is followed by six interrelated flow charts, based on disturbed physiological functions (respiration, circulation) and anatomical injuries (thorax, abdomen, head/brain, spine/pelvic girdle/extremities), which are worked up simultaneously and repeatedly. This algorithm is not only intended as an overall guideline for use the management of severely injured patients, but is also indispensable for quality assurance.
