Emergency

Critically ill patients can get the best emergency health services at Choithram Memorial Hospital's department of Emergency and Trauma Centre. Anyone seeking emergency medical care can access the same 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Emergency entrance is the first stop when you arrive at Choithram Memorial Hospital's Emergency Medicine Department. Doctors and nurses use this place to categorize each patient's condition based on priority.

The categories are as follows:

  • A life-threatening emergency
  • The situation is urgent, but not life-threatening
  • Moderate situation (less urgent)

It is important that the categorization is done to avoid keeping anyone with a life-threatening condition waiting because they arrive a few seconds or minutes after someone with a more routine problem. It is our commitment to provide every patient with the quality of care that is best suited for their clinical condition.

On duty, medical officers are usually responsible for treating emergency cases. At our hospital, Specialist Doctors treat the patient immediately upon admission, thereby increasing survival rates.

The earliest possible treatment and procedure

1. Advanced Emergency Airway Management In Adults: 

In emergency medicine, advanced emergency airway management is a fundamental skill for clinicians caring for critically ill or injured patients. The most common and successful method of intubating the trachea in emergency medicine is rapid sequence intubation (RSI).

2. Reinflation Of A Collapsed Lung:

When air enters the space between the chest wall and the lung (pleural space), it results in a collapsed lung (pneumothorax). Due to this collapsed lung, you will experience chest pain and shortness of breath which must be treated immediately.

3. Tracheostomy:

Tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that involves making a hole in the neck so that the trachea can be accessed. To keep the hole open for breathing, a tracheostomy tube is inserted into it.
