Who will take care of me when I arrive at the trauma center?

Paramedics, EMT's, and possibly trauma flight nurses will deliver the trauma patient to the the trauma center by groung or by helicopter. The trauma nurses will ususlly meet the victim at the helipad and assist with getting the patient into the trauma bay. In the trauma bay there should be the trauma surgeon, nurses, lab tacvhnicians, radiology technicians, and pastoral care (ideally) to begin the trauma assessment process. Life threatening injuries and the airway, breathing, and circulation issues are attended to first, then the secondary injuries and assessment begin. Trauma patients are either stabilized and taken to CT scan or for other emergency diagnostics, stabilized and admitted, stabilized and discharged, or go to the operating room for definitive treatment or to explore and treat injuries.
