Medical Care Ambulance and Emergency

A medical call is the work of an ambulance team to provide first aid to a patient who is transported to a medical facility for continued medical observation. This term also applies to those medical workers who go on duty specifically for such work. Medical calls can be either planned or emergency, and the duration of duty is determined based on the purpose of calling the ambulance team. At the same time, medical workers working on emergency calls must have appropriate training. After delivering the patient to a medical facility, the doctor conducts an initial examination of the patient and receives test results necessary to determine the diagnosis and prescribe further treatment. In some cases, it is possible to conduct additional diagnostics or studies, for example, X-ray examinations. Patient receiving medical treatment

Medical care, ambulance and emergency

What is the difference between "ambulance" and "urgent" medical care?

Emergency medical care: provided by the nearest medical staff or sanitary evacuation service called by telephone. Providing such assistance is not the responsibility of medical institutions (their function is outpatient medical care). Ambulances provide the simplest actions in case of illnesses and accidents that do not require complex treatment methods or special equipment. Thus, emergency care can be provided both outside the walls of a medical institution and within the walls of a medical institution, outpatient clinic, clinic, ambulance station in the absence of medical indications for hospitalization of the patient in a hospital. The main criterion determining the need to call an ambulance is the inability to provide assistance by medical, paramedic or obstetric-gynecological teams in the process of providing primary health care (independent) or specialized medical care. The purpose, volume of specific assistance and determination of the nature of its provision can be either emergency in nature or carried out gradually within the framework of delayed (compared to emergency) access
