What can we expect from this episode

A driver who collapsed at the wheel is rushed to the hospital in critical condition. There is no time to waste for the on-call trauma team; he has suffered a stroke. The swelling in his brain is reducing his chances of survival. Ashley, 30, had been experiencing headaches and bouts of dizziness, and scans revealed that he had a malignant tumour on his brain. The removal of the tumour and subsequent examination for cancerous cells comes first.

Beverley, 65, has suffered from chronic lower back pain for years. Her doctor plans to insert a metal spacer cage between two vertebrae in an attempt to relieve her suffering, but the procedure is extremely delicate because it is performed mere millimetres from the spinal cord.

Trauma Room One features extreme surgery like no other, where death is just one millimetre away. The series takes us deep inside the gripping, high-stakes world of brain and spinal surgery at The Walton Centre in Liverpool which treats more than 18,000 patients a year.

The team of highly specialised surgeons work around the clock to save and transform patients’ lives. From major trauma emergencies to life-altering operations, Trauma Room One puts us on the frontline of life-saving surgeries. But beware… it’s not for the faint-hearted.
