Abstract
In an ED, the medical staff evaluates the patient to determine the nature of the event, performs diagnostic studies, begins treatment when appropriate, and arranges disposition or follow-up care. The nature of the event is best determined by historical observations from the patient or witnesses. Diagnosis is determined primarily from history and physical examination findings but may be supported by ancillary studies. Treatment decisions and disposition depend on the cumulative results of the evaluation.Keywords
