Situations that develop suddenly and threaten the life of a person or the integrity of life are defined as emergency health conditions. According to the International Emergency Medicine Federation, although acute diseases or injuries are specified as issues that emergency medicine will intervene, the common problem in many countries is the patient density in emergency departments. .

What is Triage?
The word triage is derived from the English words "Triage" and French "Trier" and means "segregation, classification, prioritization". Triage is the task of determining the intervention priorities of those who need medical intervention. The current practice worldwide in Emergency Departments is primarily to triage patients. Thanks to an effective triage at the entrances of the Emergency Service, the intervention of patients in critical situations can be done without delay. Thanks to the triage process, patients who are in critical condition can reach their necessary examination and treatment needs as soon as possible, and hospitals also use their resources effectively.

In Ethical Life Medical Center Emergency Service T.C. Triage is applied in accordance with the relevant Regulations and Communiqués of the Ministry of Health. In our hospital, all Emergency Service personnel have received triage training and these trainings are repeated periodically.

Emergency Services are the mirrors of hospitals. All patient welcoming, diagnosis, hospitalization, operation, intensive care, discharge, in short, all diagnosis and treatment processes in hospitals are present in emergency services or are intertwined. In addition, Emergency Services should be structured in a way that they can provide all the necessary medical and social services to emergency patients who are admitted to the hospital uninterruptedly, since they are one of the units that operate continuously for 24 hours.

Since the reasons for the arrival of the patients who come to the Emergency Service are generally unexpected disorders, the patients are also worried apart from their arrival complaints. This anxiety is when a situation for which he does not know the reason leads him to a place he does not know and to people he does not know. Emergency Departments must be designed to help patients feel comfortable and safe. Doctors, nurses, administrative staff and assistant healthcare personnel working in Emergency Departments should also behave in a way that will help eliminate these potential concerns of patients.

Ethical Life Medical Center Emergency Service is one of the departments that stand out at first with its experienced staff, technological and medical infrastructure, unique architecture, functional design and physical positioning in the hospital. Ethical Life Medical Center Emergency Service offers various conveniences for both our patients and our employees thanks to its functional architecture. In the Emergency Service, there are 3 examination rooms, 1 surgical intervention room and an observation room with 6 beds where patients are examined and treated. In the Emergency Service, which has two separate entrances for ambulance and pedestrian entrances, there is a separate intervention room that is designed to intervene in minor traumas, incisions and injuries, orthopedic emergencies and where minor surgical procedures can be performed. In addition to this, in addition to the resuscitation procedures performed in the resuscitation room arranged for emergency intervention in critically ill patients and patients with severe trauma, any emergency intervention can be performed when necessary. There is also a monitoring room for patients with special conditions or diseases. Patients who may have special infections are taken to the negative pressure isolation room in the Emergency Service. Thanks to its neighborhood with the Radiology department of the Ethical Life Medical Center Emergency Service, it ensures that the patients who come to the Emergency Service can have imaging tests as soon as possible. Its close neighborhood with Intensive Care Units, Angiography Units and Operating Theaters and its connection with private corridors is also a functional convenience.

As in all units of the Ethical Life Medical Center, the laboratory samples of the patients in the Emergency Service are sent to the laboratory with barcodes via the Pneumatic Tube Transfer System (PTTS). Thanks to the PACS system in the Radiology Department of the Ethical Life Medical Center, the radiological images can be viewed on computer screens by the doctors without the need to print the films as soon as they are taken. All services provided in the Emergency Service are provided in accordance with the operational procedures prepared within the framework of Ethical Life Medical Center quality and accreditation standards.
