Resuscitation Area

commonly referred to as “Trauma” or “Resus” is a key area in ED wherein the
most seriously ill or injured patients will be dealt with in this area, as
it contains the equipment required for dealing with immediately life
threatening illness and injuries. In this area, all beds are attached to a
Cardiac Monitor with defibrillator and mobile ventilation and crash carts
are available and stuffed with the necessary medications and instruments
needed for resuscitation and stabilization of patients. |

signs and the assignment of a “chief
complaint” (i.e. chest pain,
abdominal pain, difficulty
breathing, etc.). It is divided into
two areas: (1) Male Triage Area and
(2) Female Triage Area. In this
