Abstract

In spite of the fact that the initial injury has to be treated as quickly as possible, in many emergency pathologies, the priority in early resuscitation periods is to provide an adequate blood flow, tissue perfusion and oxygenation. In multiple injuries, treatment starts before diagnosis because diagnostic examinations cannot begin until the patient's condition has become more stable.
