Major trauma refers to severe injuries that pose a significant risk to life or limb, often resulting from high-impact events such as car accidents, falls from height, gunshot wounds, or industrial accidents. These injuries typically involve multiple body systems, including head injuries, chest injuries, fractures, and internal organ damage. Rapid assessment and prompt, effective treatment are critical to stabilise the patient, prevent complications, and improve survival rates.
