ideal ER lengths of stay?

[Jago Miloguz]

3-8 min in ED seems quite impossible,if nothing,then here at least where l
live
but the real question l'm asking how many patients would actually benefit
from almost direct referral to OR instead of preparing them in ED? what are
the risks of not having primary and 2ndry survey in ER,along with quick labs
which inform us with essential information? how thorough and equipped  OR
staff is in rapid evaluation of patients status praesens with basic
knowledge of function of vital organs?do they perform CBC,U/A,U&E,how easy
is US approach,due to need for preparation of surgical field? X-rays? amount
of docs and nurses to do all of these things rapidly, l would say,in 15-20
min?
another thing, l know that subject has been discussed, ER thoracotomies and
even expl larapotomies(need to clamp aorta)?
