Understand the emergency room: Lecture with chief physician Müller in Friedberg!

In Friedberg, important information about the emergency room is on the program on July 16, 2025. Martin Müller, chief physician of the emergency rooms in Aichach and Friedberg, gives a lecture on the topic "Who is a case for the emergency room?". The lecture takes place from 7 to around 8:30 p.m. in the seminar room of the hospital's personnel home. Interested parties can look forward to exciting insights into the processes of the emergency room. For the contribution of 3 euros, members of the association can even secure free admission. A prior registration is not required, so it means: just come over!

The focus of the event is on the focus of the emergency room, how a visit is actually necessary. This affects not only acute emergencies such as lack of consciousness or heart problems, but also the crucial role of cooperation between the emergency room and the standby practice of the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KVB). As Martin Müller emphasizes, the KVB can be reached on the phone number 116 117. Also the note that a visit without an acute emergency is not forgotten.

triage and their meaning

In addition to this basic information, the chief physician will also go into the triage that is essential for the division of patients after the severity of their illness. Triage serves to identify the severity of emergency patients and the assignment to suitable treatment locations. Such a structured triage system not only requires careful planning, but also trained staff. In Germany and Switzerland, qualified nursing staff [Ärzteblatt] report that the implementation of such a system can increase patient safety and significantly reduce waiting times.

The need for emergency rooms has increased continuously in recent years. In 2022, almost 30,000 patients, around 40 a day, were treated in the clinics in every emergency room. This brings challenges with it because the patient volume is unplannable and can quickly lead to exceeding treatment capacities [Augsburg General] reports.

modern triage instruments

To meet this challenge, various triage instruments are used. The most famous include the Australasian Triangage Scale (ATS), the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) as well as the Manchester Triage System (MTS) and Emergency Severity Index (ESI). The five -stage systems offer corresponding validity and reliability, which makes it more effective than the three -stage alternatives. This ensures that the assignment of patients to the necessary treatment locations reports quickly and effectively [Ärzteblatt].

By participating in the lecture, the citizens in Friedberg have the opportunity to get an idea of ​​the important function of the emergency room and their processes. Understanding the triage and the correct use of emergency medicine can help to treat the urgent cases adequately and quickly - and thus keep an eye on the health of everyone.
