Physical trauma refers to a physical injury. A body wound or shock produced by sudden physical injury, as from accident, injury, or impact.

  A trauma patient is someone who has suffered serious and life-threatening physical injury potentially resulting in secondary complications such as shock, respiratory failure and death.
  The availability of a trauma kit can be critical.

  In a pre-hospital setting, also called the "field", emergency medical technicians, paramedics, specialized nurses, and less trained providers known as "first responders" use trauma supplies, S.T.A.R.T techniques and stabilization techniques to improve the chances of a trauma patient surviving the ambulance trip to the hospital.  

  START is an acronym for Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment, and is defined as being a method that first responders use to effectively and efficiently evaluate all of the victims during a mass casualty incident.

  The first-arriving medical personnel or First Responders will categorize the victims by the severity of their injury and provide initial first aid treatment.

  Shock and bleeding must be addressed immediately.
