A Glimpse into Trauma Care - Part 1 | Dr. Sunil and Dr. Mabel | Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road

[Music] we see a lot of trauma that comes to our hospital to our ER to our icus um the trauma can be either road traffic accidents most of them are road traffic accidents we also have assaults now if the if we get Advan notice that maybe there's a trauma on the road then our ambulances can go and pick up the patient along with the doctor and a nurse otherwise the patient comes directly to our hospitals the first place the patient actually comes to is the emergency department and every day we have at least couple of trauma sick poly trauma who come to the emergency department by poly trauma I mean they have injuries starting from their head their face their chest their abdomen the pelvis the limbs they will come in shock that means the BP will be very low they would have bled a lot very often they have difficulty in breathing so what do we do in the emergency department as soon as we get a patient coming like this we would activate a trauma team now the hospital has a trauma team which consists of uh the emergency doctor the ICU doctor the surgeons the neurosurgeons the anesthetists the blood bank people so they all come there and as they come and even before they come the emergency doctors the the team of emergency doctors would start stabilizing the patients the first thing that that we actually need to do is secure good IV lines for the patient if the patient cannot breathe we would incubate the patient in the emergency department put them on the ventilator secure IV lines sometimes their ribs are broken they have what is called collection of air in the chest we need to put chest tubes drain that air so that they stabilize then wherever they're bleeding we would handle the bleeding and then we would have to do CT scans for the patient if they are stable um or once we have stabilized them to know exactly what is happening inside their body ultrasound we would do in the emergency department itself and then once the team has fairly stabilized the patient we would move the patient to ICU if the patient is still not stable then the patient immediately gets moved to the uh operation theater and in the operation theater whatever surgery needs to be done to stabilize the patient or to fix whatever has broken is done and then the patient goes to ICU so we see at least a couple of these cases every single day in the emergency department and in Manas Hospital Old Airport Road Bangalore so we are specialized in trauma care this is you know this information needs to be disseminated [Music]
