[Requirements for hospital emergency diagnosis in definitive treatment of injuries].
For the purpose of prompt diagnostics, next to emergency room, we have x-ray room with a possibility of chest and skeleton x-ray filming, as well as one mobile x-ray machine and ultrasound device, with a radiologist and radiographer on 24 hours shift. Subspecialists radiologists are on call, if necessary to perform special radiological procedure like angiography, CT, or MRI. We use CT like screening method for all neurological cases in emergency room. Well equipped urgent laboratory is on service 24 hours a day with a specialist biochemist and laboratory technician so all the urgent laboratory findings are available promptly and even can submit a result by phone. Blood bank has also extended department next to emergency room with full service 24 hours a day. Our experience showed that urgent diagnostic, organised in this way, provides faster definite treatment whether patient is going to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for further reanimation or to operating room for urgent surgical procedure.
