摘要
'Anesthesia' and `Emergency Medicine' for `Forensic Medicine' practice is an infrequently discussed topic in the current English literature. Demand of anesthesia and emergency medicine for forensic medical cases will probably increase in the future due to the ever-growing rate of drug trafficking and escalated sexual crimes at the regional as well as global levels. To address the relative scarcity of a review on this aspect, a comprehensive literature search was conducted using Cochrane, Medline, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases, to put forward the most up-to-date recommendations and guidance on the topic, which would shed light and help raise awareness among the emergency physicians, anesthetists, and intensivists about this important aspect of medical practice, ultimately improving the medical care of the affected ones without any prejudice and thus improve the outcome.
