Material was estimated using Ambulance and Surgical Ambulatory data and Intensive Care Unit case records. Medical procedure at the place of accident and during transport, duration of the transport to the hospital, duration of the diagnostics and morbidity in studied groups were estimated. Considering the analysed material, it seems that following procedures have significant influence on the final outcome: 1. full resuscitation of the patient at the place of accident; 2. correct protection of the injured person during transport and duration of the transport; 3. time necessary for full and correct diagnostics.
