OPD is the mirror of the hospital, which reflects the functioning of the hospital being the first point of contact between the patient and the hospital staff.
Patients visit the OPD for various purposes, like consultation, day care treatment, investigation, referral, admission and post discharge follow up. Not only for treatment but also for preventing and promotive services like, health check up, Immunisation, Physio-therapy and so on.

Safe transfer of patients is of utmost priority to minimize unwanted complications. Patients, especially the critical ones experience some amount of physical stress during the process of transfer which may result in the stress being manifested in altering one or more physical markers or parameters
Emergency nursing is a nursing specialty in which nurses care for patients in the emergency or critical phase of their illness or injury.
While this is common to many nursing specialties, the key difference is that an emergency nurse is skilled at dealing with people in the phase when a diagnosis has not yet been made and the cause of the problem is not known.

4. Emergency department is integral part of hospital. It is like front door of the hospital and its
portal entry interacts directly with highest volume of patients who require critical care.

6. WHAT IS EMERGENCY SERVICES?
An emergency department (ED), also known as an accident & emergency department (A&E), emergency
room (ER), emergency ward (EW) or casualty department, is a medical treatment facility specializing
in emergency medicine, the acute care of patients who present without prior appointment; either by their own
means or by that of an ambulance. The emergency department is usually found in a hospital or other primary
care center.
8. Planning of emergency departments is divided into certain parts :-
• location – should be located on ground floor and it has direct access to road with separate approach other
than OPD. It should be adjacent to OPD and should have ambulance services for the emergency patients and
also helipad for major trauma patients at unappropriate places.
11. • Provision of immediate and correct life saving treatment at all times for all situations
• Rapid institutions of BLS to critically ill patients at site, en-route and in hospital
• Information rendering to patients on telephone for simple medical queries
• Capacity and capability to provide effective management during disaster situation
• Length of stay in emergency is 4 hours not beyond 4 hours
15. • To triage all patients arriving in emergency department
• To make available western class treatment to patients
• To treat, admit and provide qualitative treatment and proper follow ups
• Cater patients with relief and management of patients arriving at hospital
• It minimize early mortality and complications
17. Triage refers to the evaluation and categorization of the sick or wounded when there are insufficient resources
for medical care of everyone at once.
19. • The essential and functional equipment are-
A ventilator is a machine that breathes for you or helps you breathe. It is also called a breathing machine or
respirator.
25. Initial assessment is done firstly by nursing in 10 mins

• Causality Death register
• Operation and follow up records
• Referral records
• Treatment records
• Incident report form & register
• Attendance register of staff
• Register of duty doctor and staff
• All documents related to admission, case sheet, death certificate forms
• MLC records with all diagnostic and investigation results kept secretly with cmo causality
• Medico-legal cases like accident, trauma, assault, rape, poising, unconsciousness and brought dead should
be stamped at MLC
