[Problems in emergency care for concomitant injury in the Saratov region].
The paper deals with the topical problem in emergency care delivered to patients with severe concomitant injury at its all stages (prehospital, hospital, and interhospital transportation ones). The authors analyze the activities of anesthesiological-and-resuscitative units of therapeutic-and-prophylactic facilities in Saratov and its region from 1993 to 2003. The paper presents principal schemes of delivering emergency care in severe concomitant injury and considers the problems (material, logistic, professional, and organizational) hampering the delivery of emergency care, interhospital transportation, and the rendering of various medical aids at different-leveled hospitals. The authors propose possible ways of their solution, which may ensure the timeliness of medical aid delivered to patients with severe concomitant injury, improve its quality, reduce mortality and disability rates in the patients.
