Emergency medicine

Emergency medicine is a branch of medicine that is practiced in a hospital
emergency department, in the field (in a modified form; see EMS), and other
locations where initial medical treatment of trauma and illness takes place.

Emergency medicine is oriented to situations in which care is required
immediately and does not usually concern itself with long-term care
(although, obviously, EM physicians and pre-hospital technicians will do
everything they can in their treatment to improve the long-term outcome of a patient).

See medical emergency for specific lists of medical emergencies and how best
to respond.
