title: [Shock room management of polytrauma].
abstract: The emergency room functions as a junction between preclinical and early clinical treatment of patients with multiple trauma and should have defined technical and room possibilities. The personal staff should continue resuscitation measures and perform clinical and technical diagnostic procedures according to trained algorithms. The recognition of life-threatening injuries, the set up of correct priorities and application of respective surgical procedures characterize a good emergency room management.
