Rigshospitalet Anæstesi TraumeCenter København

At Rigshospitalet Anæstesi TraumeCenter København, our team provides vital anesthesia support for patients with severe injuries. From the moment a trauma case arrives, we take immediate control of airway management, resuscitation, and anesthesia care.

Trauma Care Starts with Airway Control

Securing the airway is our top priority in trauma. We act fast to assess and protect the airway in patients with complex injuries. When needed, we perform rapid sequence induction to prevent aspiration and protect the lungs. Furthermore, we apply cervical spine precautions to avoid further injury. Our specialists use tools like video laryngoscopes and fiber-optic scopes to ensure safe intubation in difficult cases.

Fast and Coordinated Resuscitation

Once the airway is secure, we begin resuscitation without delay. We work within structured trauma protocols, focusing on stabilising breathing and circulation. Bleeding control, fluid management, and temperature regulation are key parts of our resuscitation pathway. In addition, we work closely with emergency and surgical teams to ensure smooth handovers and continuous care.

Around-the-Clock Emergency Support

Because trauma can happen any time, our anesthesia team is available 24/7. We are ready to assist in the emergency department, trauma bay, or operating room. Even during patient transfers, our team offers expert support. Our quick decision-making and precise techniques help reduce complications and improve survival rates.

Expertise and Teamwork

We don’t work alone. Every trauma case is managed with a team approach. Our anesthesiologists collaborate closely with trauma surgeons, emergency physicians, and critical care staff. This allows us to provide fully integrated care. Training and regular simulations also help us stay sharp in high-pressure situations.
