Vascular access in the initial management of adult emergency patients in the resuscitation room

The initial in-hospital acute care of critically ill and severely injured emer-gency patients in the resuscitation room includes vascular access. Due to time -sensitive circumstances and critical con-ditions of emergency patients, invasive vascular access may be challenging. Current evidence and research on emer - gency vascular access is scarce and mainly focused on perioperative man-agement and intensive care settings. This article provides an expert-validated structured review and practice recom-mendations for resuscitation room vas-cular access in critically ill and severely injured patients.
