The emergency unit (ER), also known as the emergency & emergency (A & E) unit, emergency unit (ER), emergency unit (EW) or victim department, is a medical care facility that specializes in emergency medicine, acute care patients present without prior appointment; either in their own way or by ambulance. Emergency units are found in hospitals or other primary caregivers.
Because there are unplanned patients, there must be a broad spectrum of diseases and injuries, immediate care. In some countries, emergency services must be taken into account.
Emergency hospitals operate 24 hours a day, although staffing levels can vary.
At present, hospitals or clinics usually have special entrances. Because patients can come at any time and with any complaints, an important part of emergency surgery is based on clinical needs. This process is called triage.
Patients with life-threatening conditions will not immediately be suitable to deal with it, and this area may be a rapid treatment area or a minor. These patients are still found to have significant problems, including fractures, dislocations, and need to be sutured.
Quick decisions for life and death cases are very important in the hospital emergency department. As a result, doctors face great pressure to overtest and overtreat. Head lumps, and non-threatening abdominal pain, with high costs in the health care system
Patients often come in unstable conditions and must be treated quickly. They may be unconscious, and information such as their medical history, allergies, and blood type may not be available. Emergency Department staff are trained to work quickly and effectively even with minimal information.

Matters that need to be conveyed to emergency department staff
Emergency department staff do not know your medical background, so they ask a lot of questions. Sometimes, this needs to be done by more than one health worker.
To help staff assess and treat you, let them know about:
• the reason you came to the emergency department
• health problems that you have experienced in the past
• all medications and treatments you use
• any allergies
• Every trip abroad recently
• if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
• other facts they must know.
What is expected in the emergency
Our emergency care starts as soon as you arrive at the emergency department. A specialist emergency nurse, called a triage nurse, will assess your condition, provide first aid and prioritize you for treatment. You may be asked to wait in the waiting room. How long you wait depends on how busy the department is at that time and the number of patients with more serious conditions than you.
Emergency assessment and treatment
A staff member will take you to a place of care where you will be revalued, inspected and your problems will be discussed with you. The treating doctor will tell you about any tests or treatments that may be needed. Feel free to ask about your condition and treatment at any time.
If your problem might be treated in an emergency unit, after that you will go home. The treating doctor can also recommend treatment at home or by your local doctor. If your problem is more serious or requires special care, you may be hospitalized.
