For those who do not know, citing The National Library of Medicine, polytraumatics is a condition characterized by several injuries that cause significant to life-threatening defects. This condition is also referred to as many traumatic injuries to the body.

Polytraumatics can affect many organs and systems in the body at once. Common causes of polytraumatics are car accidents, suicide attempts, to murder.

Research shows that death from polytraumatics can occur immediately after injury, or moments later. However, in some cases death from polytraumatics takes longer.

Rapid deaths from polytraumatics are usually due to the person suffering a primary brain injury and heavy blood loss. If it can still be saved, polymer trauma patients usually suffer secondary brain injuries and physical disabilities.
