Trauma, Critical Care and Emergency Medicine

The biological need of trauma refers to the body's intricate response to traumatic events. When faced with danger, a cascade of physiological changes occurs, often referred to as the "fight or flight" response. Stress hormones like adrenaline surge, heart rate increases, and muscles tense, preparing the body to react. While essential for survival, prolonged exposure to trauma can lead to negative health effects, including chronic stress, cardiovascular issues, and compromised immune function. Recognizing the biological impact of trauma underscores the importance of timely intervention, support, and coping strategies to mitigate potential health consequences and promote overall well-being.
