This #TraumaAwarenessMonth, meet the members of a hospital trauma care team. The professionals who make up a trauma care team are specially trained to treat the most critically injured patients. They deal with gunshot wounds, traumatic injuries from car crashes, burns, and other life-threatening injuries and illnesses. When a critically injured patient arrives in the emergency department, a trauma team stabilizes them. They work together to set up an airway, stop bleeding, take scans, start IVs, and more. The trauma team experts who deliver this lifesaving care include a trauma chief resident, anesthesiologists, attending physicians, emergency department technicians, nurses, residents, and x-ray technicians. Other surgical specialists may also work on trauma cases. They include cardiac surgeons, neurosurgeons, and orthopaedic surgeons. To learn more about trauma center care teams, tap the link in our bio.
