Abstract
MEDICAL EMERGENCIES CAN OCCUR IN ANY TYPE OF PRACTICE. EVEN-THOUGH, LIFE-THREATENING MEDICAL EMERGENCIES ARE RARE IN EYE CENTERS, OPHTHALMOLOGISTS HAVE TO DEAL WITH EMERGENCIES IN OPD AND OPERATION THEATRES. THIS IS DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH VARIOUS COMORBIDITIES AND HIGH-RISK STATUSES. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY CENTERS ARE UNDER-EQUIPPED AND NOT PREPARED TO HANDLE THEM. LACK OF AWARENESS, TIME, TRAINING, FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS, AND LOW PRIORITIZATION CAN LEAD TO SEVERE MORBIDITY, DEATH, AND CRISIS IN THE PRACTICE. THIS TALK, VIDEOBASED IC WILL FOCUS ON, IDENTIFYING SINKING PATIENTS, HOW TO MAKE THE TEAM HANDLE EMERGENCY SITUATIONS, ESTABLISHING NABH STANDARDS TO HAVE APPROPRIATE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, TRAINING THE STAFF IN CODE BLUE, AND PREPARE THE EYE CENTERS TO FACE THE CRISIS. PROVIDING ACUTE CARE WILL ENHANCE PATIENT SATISFACTION, IMPROVE PATIENT SAFETY, IMPROVE OUTCOMES AND DECREASE MEDICO-LEGAL RISK.
