This chapter on trauma contains ten clinical Short Answer Questions (SAQs) with explanations and sources for further reading. Possible presentations and accompanying factors relating to trauma that may present in the emergency department include major trauma, head injuries, fractures, burns, and smoke inhalation. It will be up to the emergency doctor to assess, diagnose, and decide upon a treatment path for each patient. The cases described in this chapter are all situations any emergency doctor is likely to encounter at some point in his or her career. The material in this chapter will greatly aid revision for the Final FRCEM examination. |
