What is an "emergency room"?
An emergency room, often referred to as the ER or emergency department (ED), is a specialized unit within a hospital that provides immediate medical care to patients with urgent health concerns. It is designed to handle medical emergencies such as serious injuries, sudden illnesses, and life-threatening conditions that require immediate attention. The emergency room is staffed by healthcare professionals trained in emergency medicine, including doctors, nurses, and technicians. They work quickly to evaluate patients, control their condition, and provide necessary treatments or actions. The ER also works with other hospital departments for additional care or transfer as needed.
