Trauma

Trauma is the peer-reviewed journal for the multidisciplinary management of major trauma — pre-hospital care, resuscitation, trauma surgery, trauma anaesthesia and intensive care, and post-injury rehabilitation. The journal carries research articles, case series, expert reviews, and consensus statements from the trauma-care community.

Editorial scope covers the full trauma pathway: pre-hospital trauma life support and major-incident planning, mass casualty and military trauma medicine, trauma resuscitation protocols and damage-control surgery, ballistic and blast injury, paediatric trauma, polytrauma management, trauma imaging, and rehabilitation outcomes. Editorial leadership has historically been drawn from senior UK trauma clinicians, with Ian Greaves (James Cook University Hospital) as a long-standing editor.

Part of the Arnold journal list transferred to SAGE Publications in 2006, Trauma has continued its multidisciplinary scope through the SAGE era and remains a principal English-language venue for civilian and military trauma research outside the dedicated North American trauma journals.
