Emergency Medicine & Trauma: Every Second Counts
When life hits unexpectedly — a road accident, a cardiac arrest, a severe allergic reaction, or an internal injury — the first few minutes decide the outcome.
That’s where Emergency Medicine & Trauma Care steps in — responding fast, stabilizing patients, and giving them the best possible chance of survival.
At our Department of Emergency Medicine & Trauma, we operate 24/7, equipped with advanced technology, trained emergency physicians, and rapid-response teams that deliver expert care during critical situations.
Because in emergencies, timing isn’t everything — it’s the only thing.
What Is Emergency Medicine & Trauma Care?
Emergency Medicine is the branch of medicine that deals with sudden, unforeseen illnesses or injuries requiring immediate attention.
Trauma Care focuses on patients suffering from severe physical injuries — from accidents, burns, or falls — where fast diagnosis and rapid intervention make the difference between life and loss.
Our department functions as the frontline of healthcare, offering continuous, round-the-clock medical and surgical support for patients in distress.

Our team manages a broad spectrum of medical and surgical emergencies, including:
- Cardiac & Stroke Emergencies: Heart attack, cardiac arrest, and brain stroke care using the “Golden Hour” protocol.
- Trauma & Accidents: Road traffic injuries, fractures, head trauma, and internal bleeding management.
- Respiratory Distress: Asthma, COPD exacerbation, allergic reactions, and poisoning cases.
- Neurological Emergencies: Seizures, fainting, acute headaches, or spinal injuries.
- Gastrointestinal & Abdominal Pain: Appendicitis, pancreatitis, bowel obstruction, and internal bleeding.
- Toxicology & Poisoning: Snake bites, chemical exposures, drug overdose management.

Golden Hour Principle
The first 60 minutes after an emergency are critical for survival.
Whether it’s a road accident or cardiac arrest, treatment within this “Golden Hour” drastically improves outcomes.
Our systems are built around this principle — from ambulance response to in-hospital triage — ensuring that no second is wasted.
Beyond Treatment: Rehabilitation and Recovery
Our commitment doesn’t end with saving lives.
We also focus on post-trauma recovery, involving physiotherapy, psychological counseling, and long-term rehabilitation for accident survivors and critical patients.
The goal: restoring not just health, but also confidence and quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Stay calm, call the hospital’s emergency number or local ambulance helpline immediately. If the patient isn’t breathing, start CPR if trained. Avoid giving food or water to unconscious individuals. Quick hospital transfer within the “Golden Hour” can dramatically improve survival chances.
The trauma team follows a triage and stabilization protocol — securing the airway, stopping bleeding, checking vital signs, and performing emergency imaging or surgery if required. Once stable, the patient is shifted to ICU or a specialty ward for continued care.
Emergency Departments operate 24/7 and handle life-threatening or time-sensitive cases. Unlike OPDs, which manage routine or scheduled visits, emergency medicine focuses on rapid diagnosis, stabilization, and immediate intervention to save lives and prevent complications.
