Within this framework, the team is responsible for the activity of the surgical emergency room.
Also, the staff provides emergency consults to other units of the medical center, and if necessary, transfers patients from other units.
The unit’s patients are admitted to two wards and if necessary, to the surgical intensive care unit and the increased treatment rooms in the two wards.
