@entity130 care systems in Spain are provided by the Nacional Health Service in a decentralized way by the seventeen autonomous communities whose process of decentralization was completed in January 2002. Its organisation is similar in all of them. Public sector companies of @entity341 look after the health of citizens in relation to medical and @entity130 with a wide range of up to date resources both technical and @entity1 . In the following piece there is a description of the emergency response teams divided into ground and air that are responsible for the on site care of the @entity1 in coordination with other public services. They also elaborate the prehospital clinical history that is going to be a valuable piece of information for the teams that receive the @entity1 in the Emergency Hospital Unit (EHU). From 1980 to 1996 the mortality rate per 10.000 vehicles and the deaths per 1.000 accidents dropped significantly: in 1980 6.4 and 96.19% and in 1996, 2.8 and 64.06% respectively. In the intrahospital organisation there are two differentiated areas to receive @entity130 @entity1 the casualty department and the EHU. In the EHU the severe and multiple injured @entity1 are treated by the emergency hospital doctors; first in the triage or resuscitation areas and after when stabilised they are passed too the observation area or to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and from there the EHU or ICU doctors call the appropriate specialists. There is a close collaboration and coordination between the orthopaedic surgeon the EHU doctors and the other specialists surgeons in order to comply with treatment prioritization protocols. Once the @entity1 has been transferred an entire process of assistance continuity is developed based on interdisciplinary teams formed in the hospital from the services areas involved in @entity130 assistance and usually coordinated by the ICU doctors. There is also mentioned the assistance registry of @entity130 @entity1 , the ICU professional training in the ATLS and the future guidelines for @entity130 care in the ICU based on epidemiological studies carried out in both the North Spanish Group and the Southern one to promote development and improvement in several areas.
