"Polytrauma or multiple trauma has been defined as a pattern of potentially life-threatening injuries involving at least two body regions."
"Polytrauma or multiple trauma has been defined as a pattern of potentially life-threatening injuries involving at least two body regions."
"Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS): body region, anatomic structure and severity of the injury"
"Injury Severity Score (ISS): body region, injury severity"
"Major traumatic events with multiple traumatic injuries will need immediate attention, care and possibly resuscitation on-site. Initial treatment follows the ABCDE rule and is focused on stabilising the patient 15. Once in hospital and stabilised, patients might get whole body polytrauma CT and further operative, non-operative or interventional treatment will be determined on the findings 16."

"Risk factors are diverse and include socioeconomic, occupational, political, cultural and environmental parameters 1,2."
"The clinical presentation involves typical injury mechanisms as road traffic accidents, sports or work-related injuries, falls, interpersonal violence, cuts, stabs or gunshot wounds, natural disasters, burns and other injury types 1. Depending on the extent and severity of the traumatic injury patients might seek medical attention from their primary physician within the scope of a routine visit or might be found unconscious in the field and brought to the hospital by ambulance or helicopter."

"infections, abscess and sepsis"
"epidural, subdural, subarachnoid or parenchymal haemorrhage"
"Typical radiographic features of traumatic injuries include fractures, tears, contusions and lacerations in various degrees as well as the presence of haemorrhage or air in the soft tissues and outside the hollow organs."
"Plain radiographs can nicely demonstrate and characterise fractures in the extremities and small joints 14. However, the diagnostic power in the detection of injuries in the trunk including the spine, thorax and pelvis is low as compared to MDCT 5,8."
"MRI can nicely depict the soft tissues, including the brain, the spinal cord, the muscles, tendons and ligaments, and the myocardium and the parenchyma of abdominal organs."
"However, it plays an important role in the workup of spinal cord injuries as well as musculoskeletal injuries such as joints, muscles tendons and ligaments. It might be also indicated in specific brain injuries, pancreatic or bile duct injuries 5,12."
