Resuscitation and management of high-risk multiple trauma patients require a systematic and coordinated approach to diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Clinical algorithms with branch chain decision logic can provide a clear and organized transformation of clinical standards for trauma care. Owing to their capability in formalization and standardization, algorithms define precisely the process of care and serve as a central interface within the system of quality assurance and quality control. The standardized document symbols and conventions for information processing according to ANSI/ISO/CCITT regulations are generally applied to the flowchart design of clinical algorithms. Special starting and ending point symbols make it possible to break down complex processes in several single interrelated algorithms. Inclusion of optional criteria checklists reduces the number of decision nodes and loops and minimizes the extent of a comprehensive algorithm. Clinical algorithms are an excellent tool for converting highly complex concepts of multiple trauma management into a logical, prioritized and systematic process of care.
