Approach to Patients with Neurotrauma and Thoracic Trauma and Anesthesia Management with Current Guidelines -1

Abstract

There are many causes of trauma such as traffic accidents, work accidents and falling from height. These patients require systematic managementin post-traumatic evaluation, airway management, resuscitation, possible surgical procedures, intensive care follow-up and treatment. The natureof the trauma, post-traumatic uncontrolled bleeding, coagulation anomalies, hypothermia, shock and acidosis disrupts the normal homeostaticmechanism and is associated with poor clinical outcome. Other paradox in trauma patients is the necessity for emergency intervention withinsufficient medical history information of the patient and unclear trauma type. In this review, it was aimed to discuss the general management andanesthesia management of patients with neurotrauma and thoracic trauma in the light of current guidelines.
