 | | Entering patients are typically triaged by a nurse with training in emergency medicine. | | | A patient's chances of survival are greatly improved if emergency care begins within one hour of an accident (such as a car accident) or onset of acute illness (such as a heart attack). | | | This inter-hospital transfer is often done when a patient requires advanced medical care unavailable at the local facility. |
