Abstract

As evidenced in a nine-year experience with more than 4,000 patients, the operating room is an ideal receiving area for severely injured patients. This system, which reduces mortality, morbidity, and suffering incurred by severely injured patients, is both feasible and economical for many large metropolitan hospitals. (JAMA240:1731-1732, 1978)
