Jan 1995 – Apr 2010 Emergency Physician Orlando Pantoja Hospital Contramaestre, Santiago of Cuba

SUMMARY:

Emergency physician. The hospital I used to work in was the most important in Contramaestre, Santiago of Cuba It had 765 beds. The main departments were: Intensive Care Department (35 beds), Clinical Toxicology (25 beds), Surgical Departments-General Surgery, Orthopaedic, Neurosurgery, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Cardiac Surgery-approximately 500 beds, and Medical Departments: Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Haemodialysis and Neurology-approximately 200 beds. Last year were admitted about 50.000 patients, not only from Contramaestre or neighbourhoods, but from other places.

I was working in the Emergency Department, where patients arrived in critical condition; we used a triage protocol and emergency medicine residents or trained nurses were in charge with this assessment. The rest of the cases are directed to Receiving Rooms: there are Receiving Rooms for Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Neurosurgery, Plastic Surgery, Orthopaedics, where a specialist physician is in charge 24 hours.

The daily flow of patients in our ER was about 200; almost half of them needed to be admitted.

The staff consists of 20 emergency physicians (full time specialists or primary physicians) and about 30 nurses. A doctor must work 6 hours per day and a 24 hours shift every 6 days. There were 6 medical teams; each of them was composed of 8 to 10 doctors and part of them was residents. A team had a permanent leader; I was the leader of my team.

We worked not only in the ER, but also in prehospital setting-ambulances and helicopter.

I was dealing with all types of surgical and medical emergencies. It was my duty to do the first assessment of the critical patient and to perform all the necessary manoeuvres for resuscitation. This can mean cardiopulmonary resuscitation, airway support (intubations with or without premedication), venous access (peripheral or central venous line), fluid resuscitation, treatment of life-threatening arrhythmias, major analgesia, etc. The secondary assessment it was also my job-I had to establish a complete diagnosis, using the relevant investigations. The available investigation facilities were: Analysis Laboratory, Radiology and Imagistic Medical Department (Ultrasonography, CT scan, Angiography, and Endoscopy). I make the referrals to other specialists whenever it was necessary and also for patients admittance; in our hospital the emergency physician could not admit any patient without the specialist agreement.

I saw about 40 cases in a 24 hours shift. In the same time, I supervised the residents work.

When my team was on duty, I did coordinate the ER activity and the prehospital activity, too. I supposed to solve any unexpected problem that may appear.

I was interested and I was involved in all the clinical studies our department is developing.
