What is Critical Care Surgery?
Critical care surgery is surgery on patients in the emergency unit or critical care unit of a hospital. A critical care or trauma surgeon is a physician who performs emergency surgery on patients who are critically ill. The critical care surgeon may also communicate with the patient’s primary physician and other specialists, and the critical care staff to coordinate treatment and care. This surgeon has a comprehensive surgery background, and is knowledgeable in a wide variety of surgical procedures and life-threatening injuries.
