Mediclaim / Cashless
A Cashless Mediclaim is one such advantage that is offered today by most insurers. It helps avoid the reimbursement formalities by taking care of the treatment cost. Yes, that’s right. Under a cashless Mediclaim, medical bills are directly settled by the insurance company, provided the total bill amount falls within the assured limit and the hospital is a network hospital.

Polytrauma
Polytrauma occurs when a person experiences injuries to multiple body parts and organ systems often, but not always, as a result of blast-related events.
Others injuries may include severed limbs or spinal cord damage with the majority of patients experiencing some amount of traumatic brain injury. The complexity and severity of injuries sustained may also lead to emotional or behavioural challenges.
Symtoms of Polytrauma
Polytrauma affects the body in an unpredictable manner hence it is difficult to link the symptoms to a particular body part or body system. Direct symptoms of polytrauma are pain and bleeding from the injured body part. The less obvious symptoms are having difficulty in concentration, loss of memory along with headache, continuous ringing in the ears. Other symptoms include light-headedness, irritability and impaired decision making.
Causes & Effects
Beyond car wrecks and military related blast incidents, additional causes of polytrauma include:
- Knife wounds
- Physical altercations
- Gunshot wounds
- Fires
- Falls from elevated heights
Polytrauma Treatments of Dr. Raviprakash
polytrauma
- The early treatment of polytraumatized patients needs an effective and standardized approach. Reducing time requirements for the primary diagnostic evaluation is a major concern in the early phase of polytrauma management. Multislice-CT (MSCT) is a quick and reliable method for the initial diagnostic evaluation.
- Computed tomography provides more detailed and more consistent information than conventional radiography. It has the great advantage of allowing rapid examination of the head, vertebral column, chest, abdomen and pelvis during one single examination.
Polytrauma describes a patient's condition wherein he/she is suffering from multiple traumatic injuries - often caused by an accident. This could include - Polytraumas of the limbs, broken skull, ribs, lacerations, cuts etc.,
A facility requires state-of-the-art infrastructure such as highly advanced operation theatres, a round-the-clock team of expert orthopedic consultants & surgeons, fully equipped intensive care units to be able to provide best polytrauma management.
A polytrauma management team includes expert orthopedic surgeons complemented by a team of neurosurgeons, vascular surgeons, plastic surgeons, anesthetists etc., to provide comprehensive surgical & trauma management.
Patients with these medical conditions can safely undergo joint replacement operation. These conditions need to be controlled well with medication prior to surgery.
Because a partial Polytrauma is less surgery, it has often been reported to have an easier, quicker, more complete recovery and greater satisfaction than a full Polytrauma. ... The surgery and recovery may be more involved, but the overall outcomes are highly successful.
A person can reduce their risk of bone Polytraumas through a number of remedies and lifestyle changes.
A person’s diet can affect their risk of Polytraumas. The human body needs adequate supplies of calcium for healthy bones. Milk, cheese, yogurt, and dark green leafy vegetables are good sources of calcium.
The body also requires vitamin D to absorb calcium. Exposure to sunlight and eating eggs and oily fish are good ways of getting vitamin D.
Engaging in weight-bearing exercise can help improve muscle mass and bone density. Both of these can reduce the risk of bone Polytraumas.
ResearchTrusted Source has shown that regular exercise and a balanced diet can reduce the risk of a Polytrauma in people with osteoporosis.
Moreover, levels of estrogen, which plays a role in bone health, drop substantially during menopause. This makes calcium regulation more difficult and increases the risk of osteoporosis and Polytraumas.
Consequently, people need to be particularly careful about the density and strength of their bones during and after menopause.
