Emergency departments deal with the medical, psychiatric, surgical and traumatic emergencies of children and adults. At home or at the foot of the tree, they provide first aid and make the first diagnosis: If hospitalization is necessary, the patient will be referred to a specialized service. If this is not mandatory, the patient will come out with a treatment and a protocol of care for treating physicians or specialists in urban medicine. At 90%, the diagnosis and the treatment of 1st intention applied during the passage to the emergencies is respected and renewed thereafter ... The activity of emergency structures is increasing. Hospital Emergency Services is home to more than 20 million patients a year. The Centers 15 regulate 36 million calls a year. SMUR supports more than 760,000 patients a year.
