Abstrakt: Major trauma systems have evolved in many European countries and have resulted in improved care in terms of mortality and morbidity. Many of the systems have similar history, with reports of either poor services, or a single disaster, driving change of policy and set up. We report on 4 European systems, looking at the background, set up and some of the results. Similar issues are identified including the importance of triage, the concentration of specialist skills which require patients to bypass hospitals, and the standardization of treatment protocols. The issues of rehabilitation and the increasing importance of measuring outcome with patient reported metrics are discussed.
