What is an ER?

An Emergency Room, ER or Emergency Department, ED, are a common place in all hospitals. We are most familiar with them as well associate them with an immediate need for medical care.

ER departments provide emergency care for patients without a prior appointment in varying conditions ranging from minor to life threatening.

The emergency room is located on the first floor of the hospital with it's own entrance where patients are seen and put through triage. All ER patients are put through a triage where a brief assessment is done and the main complaint is determined.

There is also a trauma area of the ER where the most severe patients are seen. The equipments and staff are present in order to help patients and usually contains a direct route to the Operating Room. For situations like heart attacks, abdominal pain and others after triage patients are seen by specialty doctors and diagnostic tests might be completed such as ultrasounds, MRI's and others.

ER's provide an invaluable resource to patients and their families. For most, the sense of security, just knowing they are there, is enough to ensure people feel comfortable and safe to seek treatment for their medical conditions.

ER Nurse's, and their advanced training and triage skills are an amazing resource for patients and hospitals. With ADEX, we not only staff the best nurses, we believe in the abilities of our nurses to provide the best care.
