Summary

The ACUTE committee of the French Society of Anesthesia and Intensive Care (SFAR), in consultation with surgical societies, has developed a national classification of surgical emergencies to define the ideal time to surgery for each indication.

The goal is to integrate this classification with a cognitive aid to improve patient triage and reduce waiting times for emergency surgery.

This classification will be presented at the 2026 SFAR Congress and as a practical decision-making tool.

A prospective, multicenter study will then evaluate its impact by measuring the rate of severe postoperative complications at 30 days using the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI).

The study will include 2500 patients over two-week periods between February and June 2027.

Expected benefits include reduced patient morbidity and hospital stay, along with better emergency surgery planning and standardization across healthcare centers.
