When you arrive at the Emergency Department, your first stop is Triage. This is the place where each patient’s condition is prioritized, typically by a nurse or doctor, into three general categories. The categories are:
Immediately life threatening
Urgent, but not immediately life threatening
Less urgent
This categorization is necessary so that someone with a life-threatening condition is not kept waiting because they arrive a few minutes later than someone with a more routine problem. Apollo ER receives all patients i.e. Stroke, Heart attack, Polytrauma, Seizures, Poisoning, Gastroenteritis, Febrile illness, Foreign body ingestion and many others. Depending on a patient’s specific medical condition, physicians will admit the patient to the hospital, discharge the patient, or transfer the patient to a more appropriate medical facility.
Road Ambulance Services – Local, Ncr & Outstation
State-of-Art Cardiac Ambulances (Mobile ICU) equipped with life saving equipment and manned by experienced and qualified medical and para-medical personnel are stationed at the hospital in a continuous state of alertness to ensure patients arrive at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals quickly and safely. The 1066 Emergency Helpline and the direct Apollo Hospitals ER / Triage Helpline (+91 – 11 – 2692 5888) receive all calls and strive to provide a response time that is among the best in the world.
Air Ambulance – National & International
Saving time is the first step in saving lives. Air Ambulance Services are used when ground transport could endanger a patient’s life. They are also indispensable when the patient is in a remote area and time is critical. Apollo is equipping each of its Hospitals with emergency air ambulance services. Both fixed wing aircrafts and helicopters provide the services. Aviation companies take care of the aviation logistics. Medical aspects like trained personnel, equipment and care are provided by the 1066 emergency services.
