The Traumatic Frail Patient Area at Vall d’Hebron University Hospital is dedicated to comprehensive care for patients with hip, vertebral, ankle, and other fractures. The interdisciplinary team includes trauma surgery, internal medicine, anesthesia, rehabilitation, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nutrition, social work, bedside nursing, and advanced practice nursing, aiming to restore patient autonomy safely and efficiently. The area provides care from emergency admission through hospital discharge, ensuring optimal coordination and personalized follow-up.
Working within areas of expertise allows for standardized protocols and the identification of key roles for each professional, improving efficiency, quality of care, and patient safety. Notable initiatives include the implementation of clinical ultrasound to assess bladder volume and determine the need for catheterization, avoiding unnecessary procedures and reducing the risk of urinary infections. This initiative, actively led by nursing staff, strengthens professional empowerment and consolidates the use of ultrasound as a key tool in hospital care, while optimizing patient recovery and reintegration into their environment.
