abstract: Theatre nurses often forget that the multi-traumatised patient has undergone untold horror and pain before his or her arrival in the operating theatre. Brian Lavery, area training officer with the Scottish Ambulance Service, talks about the para-medics role in the pre-hospital care of these patients.
