Abstract

AimThe objective of this research is to evaluate the emergency of the pa-tients coming to the emergency service of Sivas Turkish Hospital by group-ing them according to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) 32 emergency parameters.MethodSivas Turkish Hospital patients that were brought in by an emergency ambulance were grouped according to the WH O’s 32 parameters by the data on their computer registries. Also, accord-ing to the age, gender, and hospitalization status of each patient, a second grouping was performed.Results34.2% (n = 205) of emergency patients were evaluated as urgent. These patients were grouped according to 32 WHO parameters. The gender of the patient was not related to the emer-gency. The urgent cases requiring admission were the elderly and those with social security.ConclusionWe saw that ambulance requirement was not es-sential in most cases. As patients are unaware of their situation, their knowl-edge of emergency service treatment needs to be expanded.
