Abstract

There are many causes of trauma such as traffic and work accidents and falling from height. These patients need systematic management in posttraumatic evaluation, airway management, resuscitation, possible surgical process, intensive care follow-up and treatment. The nature of trauma, uncontrollable bleeding after trauma, coagulation anomalies, hypothermia, shock, acidosis disrupt the normal homeostatic mechanism and are associated with poor clinical course. Another paradox is the nature of unexplained events, insufficient anamnesis information and the necessity of emergency intervention in trauma cases. This section aims to discuss anesthesia management with current guidelines.
