摘要：

Algorithms represent a graphical display of decision-making by giving clearly defined and formalized guidelines. The systematic order of decisions and consequent actions is guided by medical priority and regulates the time frame and sequence of each single step in a logical manner. With the help of clinical algorithms highly complex processes such as the management of the severely injured patient can be translated into a clearly structured, logical pathway. They delineate a consistent and valid guideline but require aberrations in proven exceptions. The use of algorithms allows a systematic search for errors in the process of quality management. In emergency situations they suggest a structured way of problem-solving to the less experienced user. Algorithms are useful instruments in teaching medical decision-making.
