[A trauma algorithm--a decision tool in first aid for severely injured patients].
Treatment for severe multiple injuries has quite often been impeded by erroneous diagnostic assessment by inadequately experienced physicians in hectic situations. A trauma algorithm flow chart has been devised for due consideration of all important steps in decision-finding. The therapeutic process has thus been improved, as demonstrated by a prospective study.
