Abstract
The International Health Facility Guidelines 2023 provide critical recommendations for operating room (OR) design and management, addressing layout, equipment specifications, and safety protocols. By adhering to these guidelines, healthcare facilities can ensure optimal conditions for surgical procedures, minimise risks to patients and staff, and enhance overall efficiency. These recommendations serve as a vital resource for healthcare administrators, architects, and medical personnel, facilitating high-quality surgical care and improved outcomes for trauma patients.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery aims to open an interdisciplinary forum that allows for the scientific exchange between basic and clinical science related to pathophysiology, diagnostics and treatment of traumatized patients. The journal covers all aspects of clinical management, operative treatment and related research of traumatic injuries.
Clinical and experimental papers on issues relevant for the improvement of trauma care are published. Reviews, original articles, short communications and letters allow the appropriate presentation of major and minor topics.
