Multidisciplinary Treatment for Trauma—The AMN View

  • Conference paper

  • 1004 Accesses

Abstract

The World Academy of Multidisciplinary Neurotraumatology (AMN) was established in 2003 on initiative Prof Tetsuo Kanno [40]. Like others he has realized the situation concerning acute neurotrauma care and functional rehabilitation in the eastern and the western hemisphere and he wanted to open up a platform for scientific education, communication, scientific exchange, and research on neurotrauma around the world. He had experienced such a cooperation regarding neurosurgery in Asia respectively for Neurotraumatology in Europe working with the Euroacademia multidisciplinaria neurotraumatologica (EMN) The EMN academicians are using a multiprofessional academic approach for the advancement of neurotrauma in research, practical application and teaching [1,2,32,34,44]. Neurotraumatology is a major burden for the social-economic and health- care systems around the world, despite the fact that the field of neurotrauma has made remarkable strides over the past three decades [2–9]. Figures of CCI and SCI victims are increasing, predominantly in the poor countries, while in the rich countries quality management in neurotrauma and legal accident prevention measures have reached a remarkable high standard that is reflected by the improvement of early functional outcome and final social reintegration and quality of life [36,42]. In contrast in the poor countries this situation got even worse despite all efforts.
