Fractures, Accidents and Polytrauma

Accidents and injuries are increasing at an alarming rate in everyday life. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), road trauma is now the number one killer among young individuals globally. At R.N.H. Hospital Pvt. Ltd., we recognized this growing concern early on. Today, we are proud to be a leading tertiary referral trauma center in Central India, providing expert care for critically injured patients.

Emergency Trauma Services

1. Polytrauma: 

Polytrauma refers to a condition where a patient suffers multiple traumatic injuries, often including:

  • Head injuries
  • Multiple bone fractures
  • Serious burns
    These injuries are most commonly caused by motor vehicle accidents.
2. Our Expertise in Polytrauma Care: 

At R.N.H. Hospital, polytrauma patients are managed every day by our expert emergency team. We follow globally recognized protocols like:

  • ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support) Guidelines for initial stabilisation
  • Damage Control Orthopaedics:
    This approach focuses on:
    1. Controlling bleeding
    2. Managing soft tissue injuries
    3. Providing temporary fracture stability until the patient’s overall condition improves
3. Diagnostic Protocol: 

Upon arrival, every trauma patient undergoes a Trauma Series X-ray of the:

  • Cervical spine
  • Chest
  • Pelvis

These help detect life-threatening injuries like:

  • Cervical vertebrae fractures
  • Pelvic fractures
  • Hemothorax (blood in the chest cavity)

Further tests like CT scans or immediate surgery may be required depending on the severity of the injuries. Patients with respiratory complications may receive ventilator support.

4. Multidisciplinary Team Approach

Trauma care requires a team of specialists, depending on the type and extent of injuries.

This includes:

  • Orthopaedics
  • Neurology
  • Cardiology
  • Urology
  • Eye and Dental surgeons
  • Paediatric and Obstetric care (for children and pregnant women)

  • Social workers and pastoral care (for emotional and psychological support)
