Sometimes it is hard to come to the clinic to see the doctor, but the immediate attention of a specialist is needed. In such cases, the best solution is to request a doctor for a house call. In the Emergency Department at EMC a team of highly qualified doctors are on call and are ready at any moment to come to the rescue of both adults and children for:

emergencies (hypertensive crisis, myocardial infarction, stroke, sudden loss of consciousness, acute pain, injury, etc.);
general medical problems (cardiac problems, lung problems, digestive system problems, etc.);
surgical problems (acute appendicitis, intestinal obstruction, renal colic);
injuries (to stop bleeding, place any type of dressing, immobilization and transport, etc.);
neurological disorders (acute back pain, migraine, impending cerebrovascular accident, etc.);
pediatric illnesses (false croup, viral and bacterial infections, digestive disorders).

There are times when you are away from home, for example in the countryside or on vacation abroad, and the need for health care arises unexpectedly. Solving the issue of transportation to the hospital on your own in this situation can be quite difficult.

The Department of Emergency and Urgent Care provides emergency ground and air medical transportation. The main factors that determine the mode of transportation are the nature of the illness, the patient's age, the distance from the place where qualified care can be provided and a few other variables.

GROUND TRANSPORT OF PATIENTS

Our vehicles are equipped with modern medical equipment, which allows us to provide first aid and resuscitation. This type of equipment allows us to transport extremely ill patients in critical condition.

The vehicles are equipped with special hydraulic carriers, which can partially and completely stabilize the patient, pressure mattresses and tires and transferring boards. This equipment ensures adequate immobilization on long and extended-distance transport of patients with severe injuries and conditions without worrying about road conditions in distant regions. Drip IV pumps and infusers allow extended and accurate IV therapy during a medical evacuation.

All vehicles are equipped with systems for monitoring vital functions, diagnostic equipment and life-support systems. Each vehicle has a complete set of all medications necessary for providing emergency medical care.

AIR TRANSPORT OF PATIENTS

Depending on the situation and the severity of the patient's condition, we have various types of air transport we can organize:

Transport by specialized medical aircraft which are equipped with systems for monitoring vital functions, resuscitation, etc. This type of transport is used in critical situations when the patient's condition is very serious, and the situation is urgent.
Transport by medical helicopter (used for relatively small distances and in difficult-to-reach areas).
Transport by a cargo plane (with the ambulance on board the plane, which allows us to evacuate the patient with critical care transport without changing the life support equipment and under the constant supervision of a doctor).
Transport by regular or charter airlines. Transport is subject to the air transport rules of the airline companies. If appropriate, special medical equipment and a stretcher are used.
