Scientific Backgrounds for the Timing of Acute Care Surgery.

Scientific Backgrounds for the Timing of Acute Care Surgery. Z Orthop Unfall. 2019 May 22;: Authors: Eschmann D, Köck M, Bludau F, Obertacke U Abstract The correct timing of urgent surgery in the field of orthopedic and trauma surgery is under constant discussion. The authors of this review like to present a scientific based recommendation for the timing of acute care surgery using the TACS-classification for the description of urgency. The timing and priority of the indicated procedure is deduced only from the expected mortality and disability caused by a potential delay. A proposal for a nomenclature is given to be integrated in the clinical practice and to be completed. PMID: 31117145 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
