Emergency Room

The activity of the emergency room is characterized by:

• Provide immediate care to the patient in serious condition
• Provide urgent services that cannot be provided by other operators (general practitioners, outpatient clinics, etc.)
• Arrange for admission and decide in which Division
• Ensure secure transportation in case care is needed at another hospital
• Treat the patient and discharge him/her after appropriate therapy if the clinical picture has resolved or does not require urgency/emergency

The emergency room does not guarantee:

• Shortening of waiting times or facilitation of services if not imposed by a significant clinical situation
• Services required as a deferrable urgency for which you must contact the C.U.P.
• Any access considered improper (not urgent) by the doctor on call requires payment of the fee for the service provided (ticket).

The emergency room has 5 examination rooms: a red room where patients with unstable or time-dependent diseases (STEMI, ICUTS, major Traumas) have direct access, two rooms for codes (2 and 3) and two examination rooms for low priority codes (4 and 5). It also has 7 stations available for patients who are awaiting hospitalization or who need to remain on a stretcher for clinical conditions awaiting examinations and therapies.
