It gives me immense satisfaction in writing to you my c/ v. After finishing my post-gaduation in orthopedics from one of the associated hospitals of govt medical college srinagar kashmir namely BONE AND JOINT HOSPITAL. This hospital is the only hospital of its kind which caters to the orthopedic problems of whole of the population of valley .This hospital is more than 200 beded hospital with well equiped operating theatre and emergency section.All doctors who work in the institute are well qualified and trained to handle any orthopedic problems.
After qualifing post- graduation I was appointed as registrar in the same hospital.During this whole period we were groomed and aptly trained as orthopedic surgeons.our academic and practical training followed a well set protocol we were well exposed to handle any orthopedic emergency.our curriculum included both cold and trauma related orthopedics.
In managing trauma victims we followed ATLS .we were backed by a well trained paramedical staff. Polytrauma cases were put through a triage .After prioritising the injuries patients were disposed to their respective treating doctors/hospitals.we were supported by cooperative junior PGs and house officers .Both doctors and para medics were trained in ATLS system.we Were frequently upgraded in our training .Resuscitating critical patients was the priority of the hospital. We used to receive wide variety of critical cases such as RTA, FALL VICTIMS, BLAST INJURY CASES, GUNSHOT VICTIMS, AND MISCELLANEOUS CASES. After screening ( identifying , prioritizing) their injury/injuries a thorough team work approach was put in place in managing trauma victims.After establishing airway and breathing, circulatory disturbance if any was taken care of either by infusing plasma expanders or by blood or blood substitutes depending upon the case.
After properly identifying and classifying the injury adequate fracture first aid was provided to the patient. Due importance was given to the pain management. Proper and adequate analgesia was used in alleviating pain. Fracture splintage in various forms, skin or skeletal traction were applied whereever necessary .. open fractures of extremities were classified according to MODIFIED GUSTILLO ANDERSON CLASSIFICATION. Open fracture management took priority .such fractures were dealt in OR .Debridement of wound used to be properly planned . use of external fixators was utilized whenever necessary.Even open reduction & internal fixation of fractures was performed on emergency basis.Those fractures which were not treated on emergency basis were adequately assessed before contempolating
