trauma patient
Emergency room case
A trauma patient is someone receiving emergency medical care for serious physical injuries—typically from accidents, violence, or other sudden events.
The term is standard in hospitals and emergency services: The helicopter brought in three trauma patients from the crash.
Trauma patients are distinguished from those with illness or chronic conditions by the acute, injury-based nature of their care.
