Unfallchirurg. 2021 Dec 16. doi: 10.1007/s00113-021-01120-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCritically injured patients pose great challenges for medical personnel in emergency room treatment. How can such a high workload due to a lack of personnel be reduced? Telemedicine can offer solutions here. With the help of external medical expertise, diagnoses and treatment processes are already significantly accelerated and optimized in other specialist areas. This possibility should now also be introduced into the care of critical trauma surgery patients. In this article, current emergency room treatment is reflected, problems are shown and future-oriented solutions are suggested.PMID:34918190 | DOI:10.1007/s00113-021-01120-5
