    AbstractPatients presenting for emergency surgery represent a category at high risk of complications, with substantial morbidity and mortality, whose management may be extremely challenging. In this first of two articles we consider the identification and evaluation of high risk emergency patients, the provision of critical care support, the management of sepsis, common postoperative complications and in-theatre death.Anaesthesia © 2012 The Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland.
