Abstract

The politrauma patient is one of the most serious problems faced by the modern society, at the time that it is the fourth cause of death in general, overcame only by cerebra-vascular, neoplastic and cardiovascular diseases. It is also the first entity causing mortality in a population with a media age less than 45 years. Their main cause are traffic accidents that when associated with the ingestion of alcoholic drinks and other risk facts such excess of speed when driving cars, the neglect of the traffic laws, increase the damage, duplicating the risk of accidents; although the means of preventing them are known, they are not correctly applied. The contribution of this review leads to center the attention in the actions that should be integrated in a systemic way to develop an organizational strategy that positive influences the attention of the politrauma patient in the province.
