다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In America, they have started to make efforts for the systematic diagnosis and treatment of trauma patients since 1960s. They made the trauma center made up of four steps and made it become an important organization to function for the establishment of Trauma system and the diagnosis and treatment of trauma patients. Now Korea also introduced trauma centers and two of them were designated. But the present state that has no trauma surgeon system is an obstacle to the effective diagnosis and treatment of trauma patients. So it causes more preventable death rate than developed countries. To increase the resuscitation rate of trauma patients after this, we have to try to designate trauma centers needed in each area and make them become pivota! organizations to establish and develop the trauma system. And the government has to help the trauma system be in a triangular position with emergency medical service system through its financial support.
