Trauma and Acute Care Surgery

#1 in Connecticut for Medical Excellence in Trauma Care 

Saving Lives...

Nobody plans to visit the trauma center or the intensive care unit. But when an unexpected life-threatening or life-changing illness or injury strikes, the experts at Saint Francis are ready. 

Our Trauma Service responds to almost 2,000 emergency cases a year, with the majority of injuries resulting from falls, motor vehicle accidents, knife, gun, and assault violence.  

Once patients are stabilized, their care is frequently transferred to our Medical/Surgical Intensive Care Unit (MSICU), where our team of surgical critical care specialists offers the highest level of life-saving services for patients suffering from life-threatening conditions including: 

• Critical injury 
• Cardiac arrest 
• Sepsis 
• Traumatic brain injury 
• Spine injury 
• Brain aneurysm 
• Necrotizing fasciitis (flesh-eating bacteria)
