A narrative-descriptive review was conducted from October 2019 to July 2020 of primary and secondary sources that address the topic. The culture of technologies and how society influences them constitutes an essential part of current protocols od care provision to victims of adverse incidents. The knowledge, skills and values of society, together with health professionals, would represent an advance towards a more prepared community. This is an example of perfectibility in our setting, concerning the trauma care system and the responsibility for trauma prevention.
