Nurse practitioners and physician assistants, collectively known as advanced practitioners (APs), enhance the provision of care for the acutely injured patient. Despite their prevalence, institutions employ, train, and utilize these providers with significant variability. The Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma, the Society of Trauma Nurses, and the American Association of Surgical Physician Assistants acknowledge the value of APs and support their utilization in the management of injured and critically ill patients. This position paper offers insight into the history of, scope of practice for, and opportunities for optimal utilization of APs in trauma, critical care, and acute care surgery services.
执业护士和医师助理统称为高级从业者（APs），他们为急性受伤患者提供更好的护理。尽管这些人员普遍存在，但各机构在聘用、培训和使用这些医疗服务提供者方面存在很大差异。东部创伤外科学会、创伤护士协会和美国外科医师助理协会都认可高级从业者的价值，并支持在受伤和重症患者的管理中使用他们。本立场文件深入探讨了高级从业者在创伤、重症监护和急性护理手术服务中的历史、执业范围以及最佳利用机会。
