Where this comes from

Abstract

In this article we analyse the Italian Trauma System, stressing what has been modified over the last decade, in order to provide a more adequate and safe pre-hospital care, as well as a more efficient in-hospital treatment. We describe how the 118 operative exchange is organised, the most important educational courses for the health personnel and the new emergency/urgency structures called DEA.
