Abstract
OBJECTIVE:A subclass of severely injured individuals who have sustained damage to many bodily parts or organs, any of which could be deadly, are referred to as having "polytrauma." Definitions vary depending on the specialty and the country. Early Appropriate Care (EAC) is an orthopedic trauma management approach for rapid resuscitative care that aims to spotlight any significant trauma and handle the most time-sensitive bodily damage without increasing their physiological strain. To lower the risk of problems, early appropriate treatment aims to correct and stabilize the core skeletal system as well as the peripheral long bones of the skeletal system. METHODS:The participants in this prospective observational study, which was conducted from November 2021 to December 2022, totaled 29 patients, with a mean age of 35. Early Appropriate Care managed all of the patients. The patients were revived on average for 8 hours. Patients were monitored for a month after surgery to look for any complications. RESULTS:Three individuals in our study had pulmonary embolisms. Complications in patients were successfully managed, and no patients passed away. As a result, both in our series and in the body of existing research, the EAC protocol appears to be associated with a low incidence of mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Polytrauma patients who have good resuscitation and acidosis correction may be eligible for early definitive repair of their bone injuries. This prevents the need for a second operation, shortens hospital stays, lowers postoperative complications, and allows for the creation of early rehabilitation programs.
