Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 05/27/09
Behringer W et al. - Emergency departments are responsible for primary stabilization and initial diagnostic procedures to ensure the best possible ongoing patient care. Particular attention should be paid to intensive care skills, which allow the course of a critical illness to be anticipated and rapid action to be taken, hence reducing long stays in intensive care. Intensive care skills are necessary for emergency departments because they improve the prognosis for emergency patients, because they make economic sense and because they ensure that beds in intensive care units and on normal wards are reserved for the patients that really need them.
