Medicine brings medical and surgical resources to deal with an emergency, that is to say, the perception of a situation where the empire quickly without care, exposure to short period of irreversible damage or death. The concept of "speedily" is very relative; in acute cases, we only have a few minutes to respond, but in general in France, it is considered under the emergency risks to 6 or 12 h (duodenal switch surgery in Mexico).
In addition to purely medical terms, medicine requires logistics (having the right equipment and the right people at the right time and the right place) and cooperation with other organizations, which will be designed to accommodate the patient or who can advise the emergency in its approach. This may involve concepts of telemedicine (transmission of patient data, possibly vital parameters and image diagnosis).
Disaster Medicine is a branch of medicine for accidents or disasters involving mass casualties: train crash, earthquake, bomb ... The disaster is defined as inadequate relief needs and the resources available (outdated means). It requires organization and a "doctrine" different from the usual emergency medicine.
For citizens, an emergency is a sudden and unexpected situation that threatens the life of person. However, some situations are impressive indeed benign, and others go unnoticed as they are alarming; for example, some signs of myocardial infarction or stroke may seem benign. This underlines the importance of counseling and guidance services medicosanitary emergency regulation (such as the ambulance). And early detection of risk situations by private physician or by patient himself or his entourage. This emphasizes the importance of first aid training, where they learn to recognize the warning signs and to address the regulatory services (call, in what situations, and what to say).
Medicine is practiced on ships offshore to provide emergency care and under the control of center of maritime medical consultation (CCMM) to provide medical care to save life on board ships sea in their state of isolation pending evacuation to a medical facility or the intervention. Example of a captain's yacht of 8 to ensure the charge of medical care on the ship.
This type of behavior undermines the effectiveness of system, the "real" emergencies may be supported with delay because of size of system, personal and fatigue generated by this workload is detrimental to quality of care. Note that this behavior is also a miscalculation for the patient, because it might be better to sit at home (until the arrival of doctor on call or opening a private practice the next day) rather to wait for emergencies, with the inconvenience and risk of catching diseases others.
Such situations can occur in a hospital structure (the patient may already be hospitalized and his condition is complicated), at home, on the street or in a public or private place (malaise, illness, domestic accident, accident on the highway, accident). More and more people use hospital emergency like an open twenty-four hours twenty-four / seven days a week medical practice; they "consume" the emergency.
But nothing prevents a patient to bypass the pre-hospital system to go to emergency departments of hospitals or private clinics, which are therefore those presenting spontaneously, as well as those brought by emergency services above. Medicine is the link between the outside of hospital and other hospital departments (surgery, radiology, pulmonology, cardiology, neurology ...), but also the relationship between these services for distress unexpected and sudden.
