Our Trauma Care Protocol
Immediate emergency response:

Vital signs monitoring, injury severity determination, and decision on on-site treatment versus hospital transfer. Life-threatening conditions require immediate ambulance coordination with Takua Pa Hospital.
2. Wound Management (traumatic wound care): Thorough wound cleaning and irrigation, removal of debris and contaminants, professional wound closure with sutures or staples when appropriate, tetanus vaccination if needed, and preventive antibiotics for contaminated wounds to prevent infection.
3. Fracture Stabilization (orthopedic first aid): Splinting of suspected fractures for pain relief and preventing further damage, pain management with appropriate medications, ice application, elevation, and coordination of X-rays at Takua Pa Hospital with transport if needed.
4. Pain Control & Monitoring (analgesic management): Strong pain medications (oral, injectable, or IV depending on severity), monitoring for shock or deterioration, fluid resuscitation if needed, and ongoing assessment ensuring stability.

Frequently Asked Questions About Trauma Care
When should I go to the hospital versus clinic?
Go directly to hospital (call 1669 for ambulance) for: severe bleeding not controlled with pressure, difficulty breathing or chest pain, loss of consciousness or confusion, suspected spinal injury, severe head trauma, severe burns covering large areas, protruding bones, abdominal injury with pain/rigidity, or multiple serious injuries. Visit our clinic for: cuts requiring stitches, suspected simple fractures needing splinting, moderate road rash needing professional cleaning, sprains and strains, minor head injuries without loss of consciousness, small burns, or injuries requiring assessment of hospital need. We stabilize serious injuries and arrange ambulance transport when needed. When in doubt, contact us – we help determine appropriate care level.
What should I do immediately after accident?
Immediate accident response: ensure safety (move from danger if safe), call for help (Thailand emergency 1669 or contact us), apply direct pressure to control bleeding, don’t move person if spinal injury suspected, keep injured person warm and comfortable, don’t give food or water (may need surgery), take photos of injuries and scene for insurance, and get witness contact information. For serious injuries on Highway 4, Bang Niang Beach, or Nang Thong Beach areas, call emergency services immediately. For moderate injuries, contact us for guidance on whether immediate clinic care or hospital is appropriate.
How common are motorbike accidents in Khao Lak?
Motorbike accidents are unfortunately common among tourists in Khao Lak due to: unfamiliarity with driving on left side, inexperience with motorbikes, poor road conditions, loose gravel particularly on Highway 4, mixing alcohol with riding, not wearing helmets, and renting bikes without proper license/insurance. Prevention strategies include: wear helmet ALWAYS, drive defensively and slowly, avoid riding after alcohol, get international driving permit, take motorcycle safety course before traveling, wear protective clothing, and avoid riding at night. Despite precautions, accidents happen. We treat motorbike accident injuries daily – seek immediate care for road rash, lacerations, or suspected fractures.
Do I need tetanus shot after accident?
Tetanus shot is recommended if: you haven’t had tetanus booster in 5+ years and wound is deep or contaminated, you haven’t had tetanus booster in 10+ years (regardless of wound type), you’re uncertain about your vaccination status, wound is contaminated with dirt/feces/saliva, or wound is from rusty metal, animal bite, or puncture. Tetanus (lockjaw) is serious infection from Clostridium tetani bacteria in soil/dirt. Common in Khao Lak where road rash and wounds contact ground/dirt. We provide tetanus boosters as part of accident care. Better safe than sorry – tetanus vaccination is standard trauma care for contaminated wounds or when vaccination history is uncertain.
