Summary

The number of consultations in emergency departments is increasing day by day, and the time to treat patients is getting longer. Different French studies have shown a significant reduction in the time spent in the emergency department after the implementation of the national protocol for the delegation of early radiography prescriptions. The investigators hypothesised that an early request for a standard X-ray by the intake and referral nurse in the case of isolated trauma to the extremities of a limb (from the knee to the toes and from the shoulder to the fingers) enables a reduction in medical management time and, consequently, in the time spent in the emergency department for the patient.
