Trauma centers are categorized into different levels (Level I to Level IV) based on their resources and capabilities:
Level I: Provide the highest level of trauma care, including 24-hour coverage by trauma surgeons and comprehensive diagnostics and treatment facilities. Level II: Offer a similar range of services as Level I but may not have some specialized services. Level III: Focus on initial stabilization and transfer to higher-level centers if needed. Level IV: Provide basic trauma care and transfer patients to higher-level centers for more specialized care.
