An Applicable Model for Trauma First Aid and Transport: A Mini Review

The nature of trauma triage and transportation services is along with limitedopportunities, chaos and irregularities. In such conditions, a model is required toprevent a problem through anticipating the future and appropriate decision making.This study tried to suggest an applicable model through surveying weak and strongpoints of the available models in trauma triage and transportation. In this study byusing a mini review method in purposive form and by focusing on the researchquestion that is; “what are the available models for transport and first aid?”, necessaryinformation was searched, retrieved, evaluated and integrated in the relatedinformation databases based on the key words and inclusion criteria. Five articles hadthe inclusion criteria. These articles were narrative ordered, summarized andcategorized according to the research question and finally findings were reportedbased on the achieved themes. The theme of “responsible model in trauma transportand first aid” was achieved through data analysis and integration; this theme includes:three main categories; “recognition and decision making in trauma transport and firstaid”, “trauma transport and first aid in remote areas” and “crisis management of traumatransport and first aid”. We propose that trauma transport and triage models are actualimages of first aid measures which lead to performance increase and successful resultsin first aid system in different conditions. Responsive model in trauma first aid andtriage is an applicable model that improves first aid speed, transportation and prehospitalcare in terms of motivation, skill and promotion of management abilitythrough human sources empowerment.
