Request a CallbackSymptoms of Severe trauma
Symptoms of severe trauma vary depending on the extent of injury. Common signs include heavy bleeding, breathing difficulty, or altered consciousness. Patients may also show signs of shock, low blood pressure, or fractures that require urgent medical attention.
How We Diagnose Severe trauma
At Manipal Hospitals, diagnosis begins with a rapid initial assessment of neurological, respiratory, and haemodynamic status. Doctors use modern ultrasonography to detect internal bleeding, supported by urgent blood tests and X-rays. When the patient is stable, a whole-body CT scan is performed to identify all injuries and guide the necessary critical care in Kolkata.
Treatment Options
Treatment focuses on immediate resuscitation and achieving haemostasis (stopping active bleeding). Doctors secure the airway when needed, perform emergency chest decompression, or carry out a haemostatic laparotomy to control internal bleeding.
What to Expect
Patients arriving at the specialised trauma care centre in Kolkata at Manipal Hospitals are received by a multidisciplinary team trained in emergency trauma management. The team employs a coordinated approach, collaborating with specialists from multiple departments to ensure fast and comprehensive care. Patients are moved immediately to a prepared treatment zone to avoid delays.
The initial assessment begins at once, with the team checking vital signs, drawing blood, and obtaining X-rays while the lead clinician evaluates overall stability. Surgeons perform an ultrasound and examine wounds or fractures to assess the condition. Depending on the findings, the team decides whether immediate transfer to the operating room is required.
Stabilisation is managed by the Accident and Emergency Care Unit, which delivers expert emergency trauma services in Kolkata. The team works efficiently to address injuries and provide advanced critical care. After stabilisation, patients receive structured recovery and rehabilitation support to promote healing, restore function, and ensure long-term health.
