PROJECT-2 : TRAUMA CENTER
INTRODUCTION:
Care of the injured patient has been fundamental to the practice of
medicine since recorded history. The word trauma is derived from the
Greek meaning bodily injury. The first trauma centers were used to
care for wounded soldiers in Napoleons armies. The lessons learned in
successive military conflicts have advanced our knowledge of care of
the injured patients. Wars established the importance of minimizing
time from injury to definitive care. The extension of this concept to the
management of civilian trauma led to the evolution of todays trauma
systems.
A trauma center is a hospital equipped and staffed to provide
comprehensive emergency medical services to patients
suffering traumatic injuries. A "Trauma Center", is also called an
"emergency department (ED)", also known as "accident & emergency
(A&E)", "emergency room (ER)", or "casualty department. A trauma
center is a hospital equipped to perform as a casualty receiving station
for the emergency medical services by providing the best medical care
for the trauma injuries, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In order to
qualify as a trauma center, a hospital must have a number of facilities,
including a high quality intensive care ward and an operating theatre
staffed around the clock.
Classification of Trauma Centers:
Level 4

Level 3

Level 2

Level 1

Level 4 center
would be a
mobile
hospital
ambulance
with advanced
life support
facilities
funded by
NRHM to
transfer
victims to
higher level
centers.

Level 3 trauma
center will provide
stabilization
(surgically, if
needed). Such
centers would have
ICU, blood bank,
diagnostic
departments and
other necessary
supportive
services. District
hospital of 100-200
bed capacity are
identified for this
purpose.

Existing
teaching
hospitals
designated as
level 2 centers
with 300-500
beds would
provide
definitive care
for the severely
injured.

Level 1 trauma
center would
provide for all
major super
specialties
associated with
trauma. For ex:
AIIMS like
centers.

NEED OF THE PROJECT:

India has been vulnerable to natural disasters on account
of its unique geo-climatic conditions. Floods, droughts, cyclones,
earthquakes and landslides are regular phenomena. Last few decades
have witnessed an increased frequency in disasters causing
tremendous human casualties, in terms of loss of life and disability in
addition to huge economic losses. Although these may not be totally
preventable but their impact can be minimized by effective planning.
Equally important are the peripheral emergencies like road, rail and
air accidents, fire, drowning and stampedes in mass gathering,
industrial accidents, explosions and terrorist attacks that have an
inherent potential to convert into a mass casualty incident (MCI).
The loss of life and disability are compounded by the lack of adequate
medical preparedness both qualitatively and quantitatively across the
country. Trauma centers are central to provide emergency care and
hence when a disaster strike the society falls back upon the hospitals
to provide immediate succor in the form of emergency medical care.
(departments: cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, trauma
surgery, radiology)
OBJECTIVE:
Aim of this project is to design trauma center of level 3 that
improves patient care through a coordinated synthesis of functional,
technological and construction innovations.
To achieve this aim following objectives has to be take care of:
To understand the functioning of an trauma center.
To understand and frame spatial requirements of a trauma
center.

To plan out an effective circulation system.

To understand and incorporate the services in the design
To make the design responsive to climate.

SCOPE OF WORK
The design should be functional with integrating technological and
construction innovations. Conceptualization, planning, designing with
respect to the proximity of various spaces. Proper parking facility
should be provided whether on street or off street to fulfill the
requirements. Other points which are also to be considered while
designing:
attributes of the site and surroundings such as shape and size,
access points, topography, views, natural environment, integration of
services, , relationship with transit corridors, proportional size, mix and
arrangement of buildings, provision for public amenities, overall
vehicular, ambulance and pedestrian circulation , national and regional
policies and codes.
