Emergency surgery is: * Heart attacks (may require immediate surgery.) * Head injuries (work related or by car accident, etc.) * Internal bleeding * Gun shot wounds (if they have hit a vital organ or cause a 'bleeder') * Stab wounds (if they have hit a vital organ or cause a 'bleeder.') * A 'hot appendix' meaning it may burst at any time. * Excessive bleeding with a pregnant mother-to-be. * Excessive bleeding of any type. * Babies that are blue and not breathing well. Airways may have to be opened or it could be congenital heart failure (genetic.) * Chronic Asthma ... airways may have to be opened. There are many reasons for emergency surgery, but those are the most critical ones.
