Priorities

Trauma center

Polytraumamanagement means the inter-departmental cooperation for senior professionals. Through the CT scanner in one of the shock rooms in Bergmannstrost can be integrated diagnostic and therapeutic life-saving activities simultaneously. Because in the initial treatment of multiple trauma every minute counts, can even choose between life and death, will thus gain precious time and reduced the mortality significantly.

Burn center

The extensive thermal trauma is one of the worst possible injury. The deep, extensive destruction of the body surface area results not only to local damage in unity with the Collapse of the skin as the anatomical barrier, but rather by the activation or excessive reaction of the cellular and humoral cascade systems (immune response) to life-threatening physical reactions (Systemic inflammatory response syndrome)
The Burn center in Halle offers as one of three Burn centers in Eastern Germany all services for the treatment of severely burned (first aid, including intensive care and reconstruction of the injured skin areas, rehabilitation).

Centre for Spinal Cord Injuries

Here patients are treated with diseases or abnormalities of the spine and impending or occurring Paraplegia.

Interdisciplinary early rehabilitation

The aim is quickly reintegrate patients of the Bergmannstrost into the working and social life. The treatment begins before the surgery or as soon thereafter as possible at the bedside.
