Purpose of Emergency Medical Services during the pre-hospital stage
Basic principles of first aid are fulfilled by emergency medical services. Thus there are six stages of high-quality pre-hospital care involved. These include:
-
Early detection: This involves someone finding the incident and understanding the medical emergency
-
Early reporting: This involves the first person on the scene that contacts the emergency department in a hospital and provides details to enable a response
-
Early response: This involves the timely arrival of the ambulance and paramedics on the scene to administer immediate acute medical care.
-
Good on-scene care: The emergency medical service offers suitable and timely intervention to treat the patient at the scene of the incident.
-
Care during transit: The emergency medical service shifts the patient in an ambulance and continues to provide appropriate medical care throughout the journey
-
Transfer to definitive care: The patient is transported and handed over to the emergency department at a hospital
Emergency care in the hospital
Once the patient reaches the Emergency room, the first step is to assess and stabilize the patient. The concerned specialist is informed and investigations are started. Depending on the treatment proposed patient may be admitted to ICU or ward. In some cases, the patient may be treated as an out-patient. Support from the laboratory and radiology departments is available round the clock.
