Introduction. Triage is the transparent way of prioritizing patients' access to care, and in the red zone, patients who require immediate intervention are sorted. Material and methods. To evaluate medical-surgical emergencies in the red zone in the DMU, 405 medical records of patients who were served in the year 2022 were analyzed. Results. Of the total subjects, 69.3% were men and 30.7% were women. Depending on age, the patients were divided into categories, 18-30 years - 9.1%; 31-50 years-35%; 51-70 years-34.8% and over 71 years-21.1%. The cause of the patient's serious condition was conditioned by road accidents in 21.9% of cases, altered state of consciousness-19.9%; catatrauma-8.8%, suicide attempts-1.9%, electrocution-0.4%, animal aggression-04%. The assignment of cases to IMU disorders was: neurological profile-22.2%; neurosurgical-38.7%; traumatic-11.1%; surgical-20.7%, therapeutic- 7.3%. The seasonal incidence was 15.5% in winter, 19.2% in spring, 24.9% in summer and 40.4% in autumn. 92.5% of patients required hospitalization, 5.4% died in the DMU, and 2.1% were stabilized and transferred to other medical institutions. Conclusions. According to the demographic criteria in 2022, 69.3% male patients were served in the red zone, 30-50 years old predominated. 21.9% were brought after road accidents, being poly-traumatized, the neurosurgical profile predominating in 38.7%. In terms of seasonality, the demand for the red zone prevailed in autumn in 40.4% of cases. Patients treated in the red zone in 92.5% of cases were admitted to IMU, and deaths accounted for 5.4%.
