Facelift: Sms Hospital’s Emergency Block All Set To Undergo Major Facelift | Jaipur News
Jaipur: The SMS Hospital’s emergency block will undergo a facelift as its administration is planning to accommodate passage for more ambulances bringing patients at any point of time.
Currently, just one ambulance can be stopped at the emergency block’s entrance, while the other following it has to wait for the first one to depart after dropping the patient. In case of fire or mass injuries due to natural disaster, the space at the emergency exit is not sufficient to accommodate more than one ambulance. The SMS Medical College has set up a separate department of emergency medicines for improving the facilities in 2022.
With the setting up of a new department, the hospital is planning to create a separate casualty area to receive patients and facilities to triage and stabilise them. There will be an adequate number of trolleys for triage. There will be a registration counter along with facilities for registering medico-legal cases.
The hospital is planning to accommodate patients according to their condition. There will be 24 beds/ trolleys of which five will be for the green category (can wait- walk in-patients who will need medical care at some point), 15 for yellow category (observation -not in immediate danger of death) and four for red category (immediate- cannot survive without immediate treatment). A minimum six-bedded intensive care unit in the emergency department adjacent to the casualty area will also be developed.

No bed, S Kol hosp stops admission, rush of patients at emergency wards
A hospital in south Kolkata has stopped admitting patients due to high occupancy and a steady stream of dengue patients. Other hospitals in the area are also facing challenges in admitting patients and have taken steps to speed up the admission process. The longer stay of dengue patients has been a challenge, with their average stay extending from 5-6 days to 7-8 days. Hospitals are expediting discharges and starting treatment in the emergency to reduce waiting times. Some hospitals are also refusing non-emergency patients and advising them to seek admission elsewhere.
