EMERGENCY RESPONSE TIME ON FRACTURES LOWER EXTREMITY SURGERY: A Technical Note

Abstract

Accidents that result in open fractures if not treated properly can lead to worse problems. The effectiveness of the response time in the emergency room (ER) of the hospital in the decision of surgery requires speed, and the accuracy of the results so as not to cause worse effects such as infection, disability, or even death. The primary goals of early fracture treatment are to sustain the patient s life and, second, to maintain normal leg anatomy and function. Some things that need to be considered in proper fracture management are (1) basic surveys covering airways, breathing, blood circulation, (2) minimizing pain (3) preventing ischemic reperfusion injuries, (4) eliminating and avoiding potential sources of pollution. Various research results show the importance of early treatment quickly and accurately so as not to cause problems that can cause disability, and even death for patients.
