Abstract

In modern times, the management of trauma patients has become increasingly complex, requiring speed, precision, and the integration of multidisciplinary knowledge. The development of treatment protocols and medical innovations is therefore of paramount importance. This issue of the journal brings together articles that reflect the progress and dedication of healthcare professionals in enhancing the quality and safety of trauma care.

The first article presents a modification of a fan cover mask for use with the Hamilton G5 ventilator, serving as an example of resourceful adaptation to maximize available resources in critical patient care.

This is followed by a study examining the impact of interfacility transfer time on mortality rates in severely injured patients, an essential topic related to referral systems and efficient resource management.

Additionally, this issue includes noteworthy case reports: delayed occlusion of the superficial femoral artery following severe lower extremity trauma, and a penetrating anterior neck injury involving the right carotid artery, both of which highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in managing complex trauma cases.

Finally, the issue concludes with an article focusing on enhancing intraoperative vital sign monitoring under local anesthesia, aiming to elevate safety standards and operational efficiency in the operating room.

We hope that all articles in this issue will serve as an inspiration and a valuable resource for physicians and healthcare professionals, fostering continuous improvement in trauma care.
