title: [A scoring system for polytrauma patients].
abstract: The paper presents a review study on score systems in current emergency surgery including its classification, application and value, based on the experiences of other authors, the paper suggests application of score systems in different phases of polytraumatized patients treatment (in prehospital, as well as in early and late phases of the inpatient period). The paper also points out certain objective difficulties in everyday scoring of patients at the Department of the Emergency Surgery (daily engagement, computer center, etc.). As a conclusion, the authors present their opinion indicating that in absence of introduction of these systems into the practice, the approach to a polytraumatized patient cannot be adequate.
