Introduction Trauma is a quite common cause of increased mortality and life-threatening conditions. According to WHO, by 2030, trauma will be the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. Trauma can be caused by a variety of factors, such as rash driving, talking on the phone while driving, and working in an unsafe and unprotective environment. Trauma victims require immediate resuscitation and early trauma detection to improve their chances of survival. Trauma initial evaluation is useful for assessing the patient, determining the patient's needs, and monitoring bio-physiological parameters that aid in the prevention of bleeding or missing injuries Methodology A descriptive quantitative observational design is used in this study, and a non-probability purposive sampling technique is used to validate the initial trauma tool. 90 samples were drawn from the emergency department of a specific hospital. Results According to this study, 52.2 percent of polytrauma patients are between the ages of 18 and 38. There is an increase in the incidence of trauma in males (81.1 percent), as well as an increase in the number of road traffic accidents (81.1 percent) and Patients with head trauma accounted for 70%. All polytraumatic patients requiring Orthopedic and Neurologic consultation. Conclusion Through the primary and secondary survey, the initial trauma assessment tool can help to quickly identify the attention to injury and immediate resuscitation of the patient and help to make decisions in the triaging. After using this tool on the patient, the mortality rate before the patient's disposition has decreased.
