[Emergency room activation due to trauma mechanism].

CONCLUSION: A significant number of patients admitted to a TCU due to the cause of accident (the so-called B criteria of the white book), have severe and potentially life-threatening injuries, which necessitate a prioritized and immediate treatment by a TCU team. Whether a reduced TCU team is sufficient in this situation needs to be critically examined.
