Key messages The Victorian State TRAUMA System provides support and retrieval services for critically injured patients requiring definitive care, transfer and management. This SPINAL TRAUMA GUIDELINE provides evidence-- based advice on the initial management and transfer of major TRAUMA patients who present to Victorian health services with SPINAL injuries.
All polytrauma patients are ideally managed at an MTS. Adult trauma patients with an isolated spinal injury should be transferred to the Victorian Spinal Cord Service (VSCS), Austin Health. ARV is the first point of call to initiate retrieval and transfer in the adult patient.
