Special Centers & Clinics

Emergency Medical Center

1. Through the first team in Busan and Kyungnam dedicated to trauma patients, which is composed of our doctors in clinics related to trauma, our system is clearly differentiated from the duty doctor system of other hospitals which is based on medical specialists. The doctors under the trauma team in our system stand by 24hours a day, because our final aim is to accomplish final treatment within one hour of the patient visiting the emergency room.

2. The team composed of 12 doctors from 9 different clinical departments including diagnostic imaging for interventional therapy, anesthesiology, internal medicine and surgery related to trauma, also receive help from six doctors from six other clinics as joint-treatment physicians.

3. We are equipped with the following facilities.
① A designated trauma zone within the emergency room.
⁃ After initially operating four beds, we plan to install more according to the number of patients.
⁃ All beds in the trauma zone are trauma-exclusive beds that provide instant photography without the nuisance of moving to the x-ray room, which is very useful to patients with spinal damage.
② We added 20 additional beds to the surgical intensive care unit in November of 2008. We operate an angiograpy room exclusively for trauma patients 24 hours a day.
③ We operate an angiograpy room exclusively for trauma patients 24 hours a day.
④ We also maintain a trauma-only operating room at all times.
⑤ 2 CTs and 1 MRI are available for use at all times.
