Abstract

In 2011 the first interdisciplinary S3 guideline for the management of patients with serious injuries/trauma was published. After intensive revision and in consensus with 20 different medical societies, the updated version of the guideline was published online in September 2016. It is divided into three sections: prehospital care, emergency room management and the first operative phase. Many recommendations and explanations were updated, mostly in the prehospital care and emergency room management sections. These two sections are of special interest for anesthesiologists in field emergency physician roles or as team members or team leaders in the emergency room. The present work summarizes the changes to the current guideline and gives a brief overview of this very important work.
