Conclusion
In general, the progress programs are based on existing professional directional lines on
the concrete area. However, there is only limited guidance in the management of
complex trauma. In this context our innovation consists in development of a guide based
on EU common strategy to decrease the morbidity and mortality due to this pathology, to
assure open acces to this guide for all medical professionals by on line approaches.
