Abstract This chapter outlines the essential requirements for emergency responses to severe injuries. It emphasises the critical steps healthcare professionals must take in urgent situations, including: Rapid assessment and triage to prioritise treatment; Techniques for controlling massive external haemorrhages to prevent life-threatening blood loss; Maintaining a clear airway, ventilation, and neck stabilisation to support breathing and minimise spinal injury risks; Intravenous fluid replacement and medication administration to stabilise patients' conditions; Proper immobilisation of injuries to prevent further harm during transportation; Facilitating rapid and effective transfers to specialised medical centres, with clear communication ensuring seamless continuity of care. By adhering to these protocols, healthcare providers can efficiently navigate emergency situations, saving lives and minimising the long-term impact of critical injuries and illnesses.
