Department of Emergency Medicine
Department of Emergency Medicine provides emergency care in a unique style, so called North American style (ER style). On the contrary Japanese Association of Acute Medicine launched the critical care style emergency care from its inception. ER style emergency medicine is quite rare in Japan especially among university affiliated hospitals. We deal with any kind of sickness patients, such as multiple trauma, cardiac arrest, severe intoxication, fractures, minor injuries, common cold and so on.
