Accident And Emergency Department

The role of the accident and emergency department in the care of psychiatric patients has been long recognised. Mindham et al (1973) reported that many psychiatric patients, at their first or subsequent contact, present themselves as emergencies, and therefore a suitable service must be provided for them. It is interesting that a large number of reports describe various aspects of one particular service in London, namely the Maudsley Emergency Clinic. Several recent reports describe emergency psychiatric services in different district general hospitals in the United Kingdom.

Accident And Emergency Department

A 79-year-old woman presented to the accident and emergency department with a short history of central chest pain radiating to the arm and epigastrum, associated with vomiting. There was no history of haematemesis and no recent change of bowel habit or melaena. She had a myocardial infarction 4 months previously and had a metal prosthetic mitral valve replacement for which she was anticoagulated with warfarin, maintaining an INR between 2.5– 3.5. On examination she appeared pale, but there were no other abnormal findings; the liver was not enlarged or tender.
