Appointment Helpline
The Department of Accident and Emergency Care in Siliguri at Manipal Hospitals treats everything from life-threatening crises like heart attacks and strokes to the likes of cuts and fractures with the same care. Available 24x7, ED treats infants, children, adolescents and adults in the need of all kinds of medical emergency.
The emergency department in Siliguri at Manipal Hospital has a team of multidisciplinary doctors, nurses trained in critical care and emergency, and specialists who are available around the clock. Once the patient is admitted, a triage of nurses examines and allows a zone to the patient depending on the severity of the condition. Patients with life-threatening and time-critical conditions like heart attack, stroke, and major accidents are immediately attended to by a doctor and managed in a separate dedicated zone called the Resuscitation Bay. The patient is directly shifted to this bay without any delay where a team of expert doctors and nurses immediately assess and start interventions to stabilize the patient. Using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, Manipal Hospitals is quickly able to scan the body for internal injuries and start the right course of treatment for better care and recovery.
Airway management is critical to the practice of emergency medicine. It is an essential skill when caring for severely injured or ill patients. RSI or rapid sequence intubation is one of the most used means of intubating the trachea for airway management.
In some cases, when a patient's airways are restricted, an emergency tracheostomy is performed to allow a tube to go directly from a ventilator to the patient's windpipe through a precise incision on the neck. The procedure allows the patient to breathe while other diagnostic approaches and treatments are considered.
