Almost all patients with polytraumas transferred from the intensive care unit to specialized hospitals have general or local complications that determine the tactics and methods of treatment of injuries, and with insufficient diagnosis and prevention, lead to an aggravation of the severity of the condition of the victims, up to the need to return them to the intensive care unit. Among the patients who "survive" before being transferred from the intensive care unit, 80% are patients with injuries of the musculoskeletal system, and they are sent to the trauma department. Thus, the prevention and treatment of post-resuscitation complications in the vast majority of cases is the prerogative of traumatologists. Practice shows that traumatologists are not sufficiently prepared for this, as a result of which they make diagnostic and therapeutic-tactical errors.
