Abstract
As evidenced in a 9-yr experience with more than 4000 patients, the operating room is an ideal receiving area for severely injuried patients. This system, which reduces mortality, morbidity and suffering incurred by severely injured patients, is feasible and economical for many large metropolitan hospitals.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
