Dartmouth Health Continuing Education for Professionals Home, The 2022 Trauma Webinar Series - Part One: Kinematics of Trauma, 3/1/2022 8:00:00 AM - 3/1/2025 9:00:00 AM,

Trauma is caused by transfers of energy from the environment to body systems: energy in motion causing blunt trauma, penetrating injury, friction, and shear; thermal energy that raises or lowers body temperature; or energy released in a chemical reaction. By understanding the concepts of energy transfer, healthcare providers are better prepared to more accurately anticipate patterns of injury and develop an improved plan of care to optimize outcomes.
