The primary objective is to assess a patient's risk for adverse outcomes while balancing diagnoses, management strategies, and available resources. Recently, indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging has emerged as a valuable tool to enhance surgical vision, demonstrating proven benefits in elective surgeries.<h4>Aim</h4>This consensus paper provides evidence-based and expert opinion-based recommendations for the standardized use of ICG fluorescence imaging in emergency settings.<h4>Methods</h4>Using the PICO framework, the consensus coordinator identified key research areas, topics, and questions regarding the imWorld journal of emergency surgery : WJES13https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11823064biostudies-literatureIndocyanine green fluorescence-guided surgery in the emergency setting: the WSES international consensus position paper.PMC11823064Chouillard EPodda MCucinotta EBarberis LTruong HDe'Angelis NPasculli ALitvin AMoore EEMarchegiani FDi Saverio SWani IGoldman YFToro ASartelli MIsik AAbu-Zidan FMRegimbeau JMPerini DGalante JMCorradi FDiana MAgnoletti VCammelli FDi Meo GLeppaniemi ABiffl WLGarulli GCassinotti ELa Greca ABalogh ZJShelat VGDavies JCoccolini FTestini MZarour AMBertelli RCoimbra RSakakushev BAnsaloni LPicetti EHayes ADe Simone BDi Bella ACastillo AMGKirkpatrick ALICG-Fluorescence Guided Emergency Surgery Consensus ParticipantsKelly MDPantalone DHacker ADi Carlo IAlemanno GBonafede MCatena FTarasconi AWeber DAshraf HCui YDi Maggio FBoni LSchena CABaiocchi GLfalseIndocyanine green fluorescence-guided surgery in the emergency setting: the WSES international consensus position paper.<h4>Background</h4>Decision-making in emergency settings is inherently complex, requiring surgeons to rapidly evaluate various clinical, diagnostic, and environmental factors.
