Abstract:
Trauma has always been a global public health issue and urgently needed to be solved. It has great practical significance for the research of trauma care system. There are two mainstream models of trauma care system in the world. One is the prehospital care represented by the United States and the United Kingdom, which emphasizes rapid transport, and the other is the prehospital care represented by France and Germany, which emphasizes on-site care. The trauma care system was deficient in most developing countries. During the past ten years, rapid progresses have been achieved in trauma care system construction in China which refers to "Chinese regional trauma care system(CRTCS)". CRTCS is established in one administrative region, with one large tertiary hospital as trauma center and five to six secondary hospitals as trauma care sites to form the closed-cycle regional trauma triage and transportation protocols. After several years of construction and implementation, CRTCS is considered to be a feasible new trauma care system in line with the characteristics of China's national conditions, which can significantly shorten the time of trauma treatment and reduce the mortality of trauma. It is worthy of reference for developing countries.
