Abstract

Acute Physicians care for acutely unwell patients. Recognising and prioritising those at greatest risk of death is therefore at the heart of our specialty. The risk of catastrophic deterioration in the Acute Medical Unit is usually quantified through the measurement of vital signs. These are being summarised into the National Early Warning Score or similar instruments. Those with higher Early Warning Scores are usually prioritised by clinicians in and out of hospital and being seen before those with lower grades of abnormalities and preferably assessed by a more senior clinician.

坏消息:对于入院的病人来说，站着不动是有风险的(即使生命体征正常)。

急症医生照顾急性不适的病人。因此，识别并优先考虑那些面临最大死亡风险的人是我们专业的核心。急症室灾难性恶化的风险通常通过测量生命体征来量化。这些结果被汇总成国家预警评分或类似的工具。医院内外的临床医生通常优先考虑那些早期预警评分较高的患者，并在异常程度较低的患者之前进行检查，最好由更资深的临床医生进行评估。
