Be it small collisions between two-wheelers or a drastic terrific accident between trucks and cars, accidents on roads have become a daily thing. And, these accidents are the reason behind numerous deaths today. But why do these accidents happen? The answer is the lack of the right treatment at the right time. How to choose the right hospital in case of such emergencies & what is the process of treatment in such situations, keep reading to know.
We talked to Dr. Rajneesh Kachhara, Director, Institute of Neurosciences, Medanta Hospital on the treatment given in an emergency road accident case. In the case of a serious accident or trauma, Dr. Rajneesh said that the team first checks the patient’s blood pressure, breathing pattern, and heart rate. All these things are first stabilized and then, the clinical check-up takes place. Clinical check-up includes the analysis of the body- which parts have been majorly injured, which parts of the body need immediate attention. This whole process stabilizes the patient and the direct threat to his life is secured.
If the injury is in the head, CT Scanning is done to check for any clots or deep injuries. If any such injury is found, the patient is taken for an emergency life-saving surgery. Dr. Rajneesh stated that the body part found injured depends on how the accident has taken place. Major injury in the brain or the chest is considered the most important to investigate. If such injuries don’t get immediate attention, they can result in the death of the patient. He also believes that no matter how critical the situation is, a patient can be survived with the right medical attention at the right time. Many road accident victims don’t get the attention at the right time and it results in the worsening condition, resulting in death.
Moreover, Dr. Rajneesh stated that many emergency road accident cases that come to his team are caused by the lack of precautions. This includes missing seat belts or helmets that might have prevented the accident but the victim didn’t use them at the right time. So, it is extremely important for the public to use helmets and seat belts whenever driving vehicles.
