With the opening of the Jai Prakash Narayan Apex Trauma Centre (JPNATC) at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here on Monday the casualties in road accidents in the Capital may decline. For India, where accident death occurs every two minutes, this trauma centre will definitely be a boon. Currently the services have been started on a dry run basis to check the adequate facilities required in future and to meet the additional requirements needed during the emergency.
The authorities are also planning to organise training programmes for police personal so that there is an effective co-ordination during the emergency between the hospital authorities and the police. According to them, the centre would operate fully only in March after analysing the operations. Dr Shakti Gupta, spokesperson of AIIMS said, "We have shifted 55 'not so critical patients' from AIIMS to JPNATC. This has been done on a trial basis to check the deficiencies in the services that may occur in the future and make adequate arrangements according to that." Earlier, the casualty ward handled trauma cases. Now, a separate hospital dedicated to it would definitely enhance treatment, added Gupta.
The trauma centre will have full range of specialists (surgical and non-surgical) and equipment available 24 hours a day, and will be able to admit high volume of severely injured patients. This would include establishment of simulation centres for training personnel in all aspects of trauma care from pre-hospital care to rehabilitation. <b>The centre will have 10 major operation theatres.</b>
The JPNATC is spread over 20,600 square metre, seven-storey hospital with <b>200 beds, including 16 ICU beds and 2 casualty operation theatres. The hospital has currently recruited around 957 fresh staffs including doctors, nurses and other technical staff and 6 months orientation training will be provided to the staffs. At least 40 per cent deaths occur on the roadside due to delay in treatment. The centre will network among the hospitals of MCD, NDMC, Railways, armed forces and Delhi Government.</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
No of beds are too high and only 2 OT.
Delhi need atleast 3-4 Trauma center.
