Diagnosis and treatment of polytrauma is one of the leading problems of modern medicine. In the structure of the causes of death of the population, injuries occupy the third place, and among the population under the age of 40 - the first place. Despite the fact that victims with polytrauma make up only 8-10% of all victims subject to inpatient treatment, they account for up to 70% of deaths from injuries.
