The Orthopaedic team provides immediate consultation in a time-sensitive response (30 minutes) when requested by the surgical team leader for multiply injured patients with time-sensitive injuries:

  • fractures with neurovascular compromise
  • pelvis fractures with hemodynamic instability
  • joint dislocations
  • Suspected compartment syndrome
  • Pulseless extremity
Response times are tracked in the PIPS program.
