Atención de emergencia
La atención de emergencia es el tratamiento de afecciones médicas de emergencia. Generalmente se proporciona en una sala de emergencias, pero también puede hacer referencia al tratamiento que se brinda en una ambulancia. Los médicos especialistas en medicina de emergencia pueden tratar a pacientes con lesiones o infecciones, además de afecciones potencialmente mortales.
