6^th International conference on Emergency & Acute Care Medicine June 23-24, 2023 Paris, France

A doctor who specialises in emergency medical services has extraordinary abilities and knowledge for providing critical care to injured patients or those who are seriously unwell outside of the hospital. It involves the primary patient care, transportation, and stabilisation in ambulances and helicopters with specialized medical equipment. Initial treatment for diseases like a heart attack or stroke can take place anywhere, including patient homes and remote locations. These experts undertake life-saving procedures outside of hospitals, sometimes while victims are still confined in vehicles or structures.

A physician with training in critical care medicine examines and treats patients with severe illnesses or injuries, especially those with multiple organ dysfunction and trauma victims who need care for several days, weeks, or even months. The intensive care unit (ICU) of a hospital is the top priority of operation for physicians as they also coordinate patient care among the critical care team, main physician, and other specialists.

A critical care physician with training in emergency medicine is skilled in the diagnosis, care, and support of seriously ill and injured patients, particularly those who have suffered trauma or have multiple organ dysfunction. The primary doctor, the critical care team, and other specialists work together with this doctor to coordinate the patient's treatment.

The primary goal of neurocritical care is to share cutting-edge information on all types of acute neurological treatment. It is geared toward treating patients with urgent neurologic problems by neurologists, neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, neuro-intensivists, emergency physicians, and critical care nurses. A comprehensive overview of the most recent developments in intensive care neuroanesthesia, neurology, and neurosurgery is provided in Neurocritical Care. It contains information about novel treatment options and technology advancements.

Acute behavioral changes that have a negative effect on a patient's capacity to operate in their surroundings are categorized as psychiatric emergencies. Professionals in the professions of psychology, medicine, nursing, and social work provide psychiatric emergency services. The first stage in an evaluation is to ensure the patient's safety as well as the safety of everyone nearby and the medical staff. The patient's overall well-being comes first, followed by the precise symptoms, and finally the underlying reason of the symptoms.

Pediatric emergency medicine is a crucial component of emergency care that relates to the clinical side of emergency care for children. To teach professionals in this industry, numerous training programs are being developed. Our training program's main goal is to give students complete training in pediatrics emergency medicine so they can handle any difficulties on their own that would typically be handled by a subspecialist in the field.

Medical toxicologists are doctors who focus on the evaluation, prevention, examination of disease and injury, treatment, and exposure to medications, chemicals, biological agents, and radioactive agents. These specialists offer poison control centers and care for people in academic, clinical, governmental, and public health contexts. Adverse drug events, acute drug poisoning, addiction and withdrawal, drug abuse, venomous bites and stings, chemicals and hazardous materials, terrorism preparedness, and workplace exposures are among the main subspecialties of medical toxicology.

In cases where a patient has an immediate medical need, emergency medications are employed. The medical speciality that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases is known as internal medicine or general medicine. In Commonwealth countries, doctors who specialise in internal medicine are referred to as internists or doctors. One of the key areas of emergency treatment is emergency internal medicine, which specifies what type of medication should be used and how it should interact with other medications during the recovery phase in addition to emergency medicine.

Every government should be concerned about rural emergency medicine, but it is especially important in developing nations where the bulk of the population lives in rural areas and lacks access to excellent medical care. For this, you need a lot of resources and qualified personnel who are experienced in both emergency and routine medicine. Hospitals are concentrating on enhancing post-discharge services for senior citizens, such as early follow-up treatment following hospitalization to decrease readmissions and needless ED visits.

Heart failure, a chronic ailment that can cause symptoms including shortness of breath, fluid retention, a rapid or irregular heartbeat, and much more, is one of the leading causes of patients seeking treatment in an emergency room. Cardiovascular crises are serious illnesses that must be treated right once to reduce morbidity and mortality. In recent years, the number of deaths from cardiovascular disease has decreased. Health professionals have organised themselves for the task with awareness, more efficient techniques, and pharmaceuticals that have made considerable progress in meeting new demands, both in pre-hospitalization settings and in emergency care units.

Endocrine emergencies are a collection of potentially lethal illnesses that are frequently disregarded, which causes delays in both diagnosis and treatment and raises the already high rates of related mortality. Because the illness process is frequently overlooked, the basic endocrine emergencies are not well defined. Endocrine emergencies are frequently observed in patients with known endocrinopathies; in previously undiagnosed people, the emergency may be the first sign of the condition. 

Women around the world who are of reproductive age frequently suffer from gynecological problems. Due to the inadequate healthcare infrastructure in impoverished nations, gynecological emergencies create significant difficulties. The most frequent gynecological emergencies are complex ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancies, severe pelvic inflammatory illness, and spontaneous abortions. Menstrual problems, gynecological cancers with bleeding, laceration during sexual activity, and sexual abuse are additional gynecological illnesses that might manifest as emergencies. The most frequent life-threatening gynecological crises in the tropics are ectopic pregnancy and complications from botched abortion.

The lung does much more than just "basic" gas exchange. To prevent large, solid objects from reaching your brain, heart, or other vital organs, one of their functions is to remove them from circulation. A significant illness or damage causes the lungs to become extremely inflamed, which results in the respiratory emergency. Inflammation leads to the collapse of air sacs and the leakage of fluid into the lungs from adjacent blood vessels. The lungs will eventually fill with so much fluid that breathing will become impossible and result in death. Breathing and the patient's airway are crucial to his survival. According to a significant prospective European experiment, 16.1 percent of all patients receiving mechanical ventilation and 7.1 percent of patients hospitalized to an ICU both experience acute lung damage.

The first professional that patients encounter in the emergency room is typically an emergency nurse who is tasked with screening patients when they arrive. Therefore, the emergency nurse must be adept at performing thorough physical examinations quickly and accurately as well as at spotting potentially fatal illnesses early on. Following "collaborative practice standards" or "standing orders" set by the hospital's emergency medical team; emergency nurses may occasionally order specific tests and drugs.

Despite the fact that knowledge in the field of geriatric emergency medicine is quickly developing in Europe, change is still not being implemented widely. There are several chances to provide better care for this vulnerable and expanding patient group in routine clinical treatment that are lost. The objective was to create specialized clinical guidelines for geriatric emergency medicine that could be shared across Europe.

Medicine treats illnesses and injuries to promote and hasten the healing process. In order to lessen suffering throughout therapy, recovery, and death, it tackles uncomfortable sensations like pain. In three situations, medicine's job is to alleviate pain. The first occurs when a painful disease or injury is unresponsive to therapy and continues. The second situation is when pain lingers even after the pathology or damage has healed. The third situation is when the source of discomfort cannot be determined by medical research. Pharmaceutical measures, such as painkillers, antidepressants, and anticonvulsants; interventional procedures, such as physical therapy, exercise, and the application of ice or heat; and psychological measures, such as biofeedback and cognitive Behavioural therapy are some of the treatment options for chronic pain.

Comparing how various illnesses and disorders were handled in the past with how they are now, modern medicine has undergone a life-altering evolution. There is an increasing need for cutting-edge medical equipment due to the increased number of procedures performed to address several chronic ailments. Over the past century, technological advancements have produced ground-breaking discoveries in the realm of medicine. We've gone a long way from the discovery of penicillin to the creation of several essential diagnostic and therapeutic equipment kinds.

     Scientific developments have also assisted in easing patients' suffering from pain. A high-frequency electric current is used in therapeutic treatments like diathermy to induce heat production inside bodily tissues. These treatments are typically given for muscle and joint disorders. High-frequency electromagnetic radiation is used in shortwave diathermy to create heat. It may be used with either pulsed or constant energy waves. It has been used to treat pelvic inflammatory disease and discomfort from kidney stones. Conditions that produce discomfort and muscular spasms are treated with it.

Any approach that seeks to replicate the therapeutic benefits of medicine while lacking biological plausibility, testability, repeatability, or clinical trial proof is considered alternative medicine. Alternative medical methods are combined with those used in conventional care in complementary medicine (CM), complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), integrative medicine (IM), and holistic medicine. When utilised outside of their intended contexts and without the required scientific justification and support, traditional practises are deemed "alternative." New age or pseudo-medicine are frequently used pejorative names for related activities, with little differentiation from quackery.
