Abstract:
Background. The yellow zone of the Emergency Medicine Department manages patients
with acute but stable conditions. This study analyzes the distribution of medico-surgical
cases in this zone at the Institute of Emergency Medicine, highlighting common pathologies
and the importance of efficient management.
Objective(s). Evaluation of the distribution of medical-surgical cases in the yellow zone of
the Emergency Medicine Department, highlighting types of pathologies, frequency, and
optimization of clinical management.
Materials and methods. The study is descriptive, observational, retrospective, based on
clinical data collected from the yellow zone of the DMU of the Institute of Emergency
Medicine. The data were analyzed for the period of one year in 2024, providing a
representative picture of the distribution and typology of medical-surgical cases in this area.
Results. The majority of cases in the yellow zone were cardiovascular pathologies (43%),
acute abdominal conditions (26%), and moderate trauma (19%). Proper application of the
triage protocol reduced the time to intervention. The implementation of checklists and
standardized scales increased the efficiency of medical care and reduced errors. Most
referrals were in the blue zone (43.72%), followed by green (35.66%), yellow (19.55%), and
red (1.06%). The surgical, urological, and neurological profiles have increased in recent
years. These results require continuous adaptation of resources and protocols to ensure
efficient management.
Conclusion(s). Efficient management in the yellow zone requires standardized procedures,
continuous staff training, close interdisciplinary collaboration. These measures contribute
to reducing errors, optimizing intervention times, and improving the quality of care for
patients with complex medico-surgical.
