Аннотация

In this material the structural and functional aspects of formation of an effective system of medical support of the persons injured in the maxillofacial area are considered. The analysis of optimal models of routing of such patients, starting from the pre-hospital stage and ending with specialized inpatient care, is presented. Special attention is paid to interdisciplinary interaction of specialists of different profiles: maxillofacial surgeons, neurosurgeons, ophthalmologists, otorhinolaryngologists and traumatologists in the process of diagnostics and treatment of combined injuries. The issues of continuity between the stages of care, modern principles of patient triage, resource provision of specialized departments and rehabilitation aspects of management of patients with facial skeletal injuries are also considered. Justifications for the introduction of new organizational approaches aimed at improving the availability and quality of specialized medical care for this category of patients are given.
