Trauma Nursing
Injuries from road accidents, falls, violence and disasters are a leading cause of death and disability, especially among young people. Trauma nurses provide rapid, coordinated care from the moment of injury through surgery, intensive care and recovery.
At Nursing Science 2027, trauma nursing research is presented mainly in the acute care, critical care and emergency nursing session. Emergency, trauma and critical care nurses share protocols and outcomes.
