Core Tip This narrative review synthesizes updated global guidelines on early polytrauma management and explores practical, scalable strategies for adapting these recommendations to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). By integrating context-sensitive clinical priorities—such as Circulation-Airway-Breathing (CAB) sequencing in exsanguination, permissive hypotension, balanced transfusion, damage-control surgery, and point-of-care diagnostics—with phased system reforms in training, referral networks, and trauma registries, LMICs can significantly improve survival without requiring wholesale replication of high-income trauma models.
