Designated resuscitation areas allow concentration of limited resources, and in conjunction with ED triage, improve patient flow.
Emergecy Department Redesign
Emergency Care Training
Facilitation of the WHO Basic Emergency Care (BEC) course and training of emergency department staff on basic resuscitation skills.
