Emergency care

What is Emergency Care?

Emergency care refers to the immediate medical treatment provided to individuals experiencing a sudden and unexpected medical condition that requires urgent attention. Emergency care can be provided in a hospital emergency department, urgent care center, or through emergency medical services (EMS) in the community.

Examples of medical conditions that may require emergency care include heart attacks, strokes, severe injuries, and difficulty breathing.

Emergency care providers are trained to provide rapid assessment, stabilization, and treatment to patients in order to prevent further deterioration of their condition.
