trauma patients
Emergency room arrivals
Trauma patients are people receiving medical care for severe physical injuries—from car accidents, falls, gunshot wounds, burns, or other acute bodily damage.
The term belongs to emergency medicine and hospital settings: The trauma patients were airlifted to the nearest Level 1 center.
Trauma here refers to physical injury, not psychological distress.
