The department of Emergency Medicine at Sakra World Hospital offers the best of emergency health services for critically ill patients. We have board-certified doctors, trained nurses, advanced midlevel providers and other specially trained staff available 24/7 to treat anyone seeking emergency medical care.

At Sakra World Hospital, when you arrive at the Emergency Medicine Department, your first stop is Triage. This is the place where a doctor or a trained nurse categorises each patient's condition on the basis of priority.

There are three categories:

1. Immediate life-threatening
2. Urgent, but not immediately life-threatening
3. Less urgent

It is necessary to do the categorization so that anyone with a life-threatening condition is not kept waiting because they arrive a few seconds or minutes later than someone with a more routine problem. Our dedicated team of specialists is committed to giving every patient the quality of care that would best address the clinical problem.

Treatment and Procedures

1. Advanced Emergency Airway Management In Adults:  Advance Emergency Airway management is an important skill for clinicians caring for critically ill or injured patients and is fundamental to the practice of emergency medicine. In emergency medicine practice, rapid sequence intubation (RSI) is the most used and successful means of intubating the trachea.

2. Reinflation Of A Collapsed Lung: A collapsed lung (pneumothorax) is a situation that occurs when air enters the space present between the chest wall and the lung (pleural space). Symptoms of the collapsed lung include chest pain and shortness of breath.

3. Tracheostomy: Tracheostomy (tray-key-OS-tuh-me) is a hole that doctors make through the front side of the neck and into the windpipe known as the trachea. A tracheostomy tube is kept into the hole to keep it open for breathing. The term for the surgical procedure to create this opening is tracheotomy.
