The emergency department consists of an actual ambulance bay, two stationary ambulance simulators, car wreck area, triage area, trauma/ resuscitation (hybrid) room, and 12 emergency rooms.

The contraindications to the use of thrombolytic drugs are similar to those for the anticoagulant drugs. Absolute contraindications include active bleeding, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (trauma to thorax is possible), intracranial trauma, vascular disease, and cancer. Relative contraindications include uncontrolled hypertension, earlier central nervous system surgery, and any known bleeding risk.

The choice of crystalloid or colloid for fluid resuscitation remains controversial. There have been no prospective, randomised trials of sufficient power in either sepsis or trauma, to detect a significant difference in mortality. Albumin is relatively expensive and offers no advantage over cheaper, synthetic colloids such as etherified starch.

Preliminary reports suggest these tHbs may be of value in resuscitation following trauma or unanticipated hemorrhage, where the Hb solution could be infused as an immediate response to blood loss. Under these conditions, the tHb is a bridge to transfusion data accumulated during transport, in the emergency room or recovery room, peri-operatively, or in the intensive care unit, enable broader assessment of the physiologic need for a subsequent blood transfusion.
