How to prepare
- For the patient: Immediate transport to the nearest emergency department via ambulance is the primary preparation; bystanders should call emergency services (e.g., 108 in India) immediately.
- For the hospital: The trauma team is alerted based on the incoming report; resuscitation bays are prepared with necessary equipment (defibrillators, ventilators, IV lines).
- If possible, bystanders should note the time of symptom onset, patient's medical history, and any medications.
- No routine pre-procedure fasting or specific patient preparation is possible due to the urgent nature.
Risks & possible complications
- Procedural risks depend entirely on the specific interventions required (e.g., bleeding from surgery, infection from lines).
