An Emergency Department (ED) is a specialized area in a hospital that provides immediate medical care for urgent and life-threatening conditions. It is staffed by trained healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and support staff, who are available 24/7 to assess and treat patients. Common reasons for visiting the ED include severe injuries, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and sudden illnesses. Patients are typically seen on a priority basis, known as triage, where the severity of their condition determines the order of treatment. The ED is equipped with advanced medical technology and resources to handle a wide range of emergencies, ensuring timely intervention for those in need.
