Emergency Department

“Time” is an important factor for trauma patients, as delays can worsen injury severity. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent loss of life, organ failure, and other complications. Trauma from accidents often involves multiple system injuries (MSI), meaning injuries affecting two or more body systems, such as the brain, spinal cord, abdominal organs, or thoracic organs. Each of these injuries can be life-threatening. 

The Emergency Accident Center is a frontline service that plays a vital role in hospitals, to provide swift, accurate, life-saving care for critically injured patients. It helps ensure survival, safety, and reduce disability, offering hope to patients and their families in moments of crisis.

Ruampat Chachoengsao Hospital has developed a team of multi-specialty medical experts, including ER nurses, ICU nurses, radiologic technologists, physical therapists, and other skilled healthcare professionals. Equipped with advanced medical devices, the hospital is fully prepared to respond promptly to any emergency situation.
