The MGM medical college hospital will soon introduce a resuscitation trolley at the general emergency consisting of an ambu bag, life-saving drugs and other emergency medical equipment.

The decision to keep the resuscitation trolley was taken by the new superintendent Arun Kumar on Saturday after he visited the hospital's emergency ward.

The resuscitation trolley has already been brought in the emergency ward of the medical college hospital and is being set up with the necessary equipment and life-saving drugs.

"There are a lot of negativities in this medical college hospital, which is visited mainly by poor patients. But we have to give a facelift to the hospital so that patients hailing from weaker sections of the society may come over here for a viable treatment. This is the reason we want to revive its overall standard by beginning with the hospital emergency ward," said Dr Kumar to The Telegraph Online.

He said as the hospital emergency is the place where critical patients, including crime and accident victims are brought, they would try the best possible treatment as quickly as possible so that patients' lives can be saved.

He stressed that a serious patient can be saved only if the necessary treatment is provided on time and for making this possible an arrangement like a resuscitation trolley is necessary.

The superintendent said after reviving the general emergency, they would pay attention to the emergencies of the Gynaecology department and Paediatric department.

He pointed out they would first rectify every small aspect relating to the treatment of patients and later focus on areas like cleanliness and security.
