Dr. Ramprasad
Head of the Department - Department of
Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery |
MIOT started 10
years ago as a Centre for Trauma Care. Even today, this is a
vital department in MIOT Hospitals.
Trauma does not
affect one part of the body only. Today, because of the high
velocity of accidents and injuries, trauma affects almost
all the parts of the body. MIOT has the personnel and the
equipment to resuscitate a poly traumatized patient who is
critical. The Department is manned by qualified Surgeons,
Orthopaedic Surgeons, Abdominal Surgeons, Vascular and
Plastic Surgeons and Urologists.
Patients are
received in resuscitation bays. Their contaminated clothes
and dressings are removed. The accident victim is covered
with sterile dressings, the general condition assessed,
blocked airways restored, adequate fluid and blood
transfusion given within a few minutes, and if all
investigations including CT Scan and MRI are executed
quickly, the patient is taken to the Operation Theatre for
definitive treatment.
Sometimes, after a
major accident we receive 30 to 40 patients and we are able
to manage them without any problem, because of the
availability of adequate staff and the right equipment.
