Acute care protocol refers to a set of organized procedures used by healthcare professionals to quickly assess, treat, and stabilize patients experiencing sudden or severe health problems. It ensures rapid response to issues like injuries, infections, or sudden illnesses, aiming to reduce risks and improve outcomes. The protocol involves immediate evaluation, administering necessary interventions such as medications or procedures, and continuous monitoring until the patient stabilizes or transfers to a specialized setting. This structured approach helps provide efficient, effective care during critical moments to minimize complications and support recovery.
