Emergency care and
management
management
Overview
Emergency care and management entail early recognition of clinical deterioration through the use of the ABCDE assessment model and effective management of a patient suffering from the most common life-threatening clinical conditions (e.g. shock, burns, anaphylaxis). It also includes life support through airway management, basic life support and advanced life support.

Introduction
In the UK, similar to other countries, there has been increasing emphasis on safety issues. The internet has become a welcome source of accessing immediate information.

âą National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)
âą National Patient Safety Agency (NSPA)
âą Department of Health (DH)
âą Resuscitation guidelines
âą British Thoracic Society Publications
âą Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN)

This is for a variety of reasons: people are living longer so more have experienced the effects of the ageing process; modern technology; and medications prolonging life. This requires healthcare professionals, including nurses, to have the appropriate knowledge and skill to preserve life, relieve suffering, limit disability and promote recovery.
