| Popis: | In the last decade, emergency general surgery (EGS) in Australia and New Zealand has seen a transition from the traditional on-call system to the acute surgical unit (ASU) model. The importance and growing demand for EGS has resulted in the implementation of the General Surgeons Australia's 12-point plan for emergency surgery. Since its release, the 12-point plan has been used as a benchmark of a well-functioning ASU, both locally and abroad. This study aims to provide a descriptive review on the relevance of the 12-point plan to the ASU model and review the current evidence to support this framework. The review concludes that the establishment of the ASU model has met the aims set out by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons for EGS. The 12-point plan is relevant and has good evidence to support its framework. |
