Update on global trends in trauma

The significance of trauma as a mechanism and cause of mortality and morbidity on a global scale is increasing. The combination of both large-scale disasters, whether natural or man-made, and the every day accidents, and intentional violence pose a grave challenge to the ability of our medical systems’ ability to cope with the increasing demands of trauma care at system level as well as on individual providers. Despite significant advances in clinical practice, the economical, educational, and organisational limitations prevent us from providing the best available care to many of our patients, at least on a global scale. Fresh solutions and new paradigms are needed, and in order to approach the key issues successfully a wider scope with a look at the global perspective forming the ‘environment of trauma’ is required. This review updates the recent trends in trauma with emphasis on the causes and manifestations of trauma on a global scale.
