Management of traumatically injured patients in the emergency department observation unit

R D Welch. Emerg Med Clin North Am. 2001 Feb.

Abstract

An EDOU may be an ideal setting for the short-term monitoring and treatment of certain acutely injured patients. The patients choosen for observation, and the diagnostic studies used, will be specific to a particular institution's availability and expertise. Pathways should be developed in conjunction with all services caring for these patients.
