A discussion about the JTS Emergency General Surgery CPG with CDR Jacob Glazer, MD, a Navy Trauma & Critical Care Surgeon and Maj Andrew Hall, MD from USAF CSTARS.

The following topics are discussed:

  • Overall need and purpose for a emergency general surgery
  • Surgical decision-making in the deployed environment
  • Common non-trauma conditions requiring emergency surgery
  • Various surgical patient populations in the deployed setting
  • Approaches to surgical decision-making with limitations on diagnostics and reliance on physical exams
  • Decision matrix in the CPG
  • Identification of emergent versus urgent surgical patients
  • Decisions based on follow-on care needs
  • Integrating surgical decision-making with command and mission requirements
  • Post-surgical and evacuation decision-making
