Trauma and Injury Care in Beaumont, Texas

Trauma and Injury Care

Trauma and Injury care require advanced medical services and techniques. Beaumont Emergency Hospital services play a pivotal role in the immediate assessment, stabilization, and treatment of individuals suffering from various forms of physical harm. Our specialized medical facility has the expertise and state-of-the-art tools to address various emergencies, from injuries to severe traumas.

Trauma and Injury Care

Whether it’s a car accident victim, a person with a severe burn, or someone with a sports-related injury, Beaumont Emergency Hospital Board-Certified ER physicians, nurses, and technicians work tirelessly around the clock, ensuring that each patient receives optimal care and attention to enhance their chances of recovery and minimize potential complications.

Some of the most common trauma and injury care we treat:

Animal Bites

Animal bites can introduce bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens into the body, resulting in injuries ranging from minor scratches to deep tissue damage. Recognizing when an animal bite requires emergency medical attention is crucial to prevent complications.

Back Pain and Sciatica

Back pain is common, but signs and symptoms can indicate a more severe condition requiring immediate medical attention. Back pain might be considered an emergency if it results from trauma, is severe unrelenting pain, numbness or tingling, or any other symptom that does not respond to prescribed medicine or comes on suddenly.

Burns

Burns can vary in severity from minor injuries to life-threatening emergencies. Recognizing the severity and type of burn is essential for determining the appropriate action. If someone suffers a burn injury and there is any doubt about its severity or the appropriate care, it’s essential to seek medical attention promptly. Immediate and appropriate treatment can be crucial for the outcome, reducing the risk of complications and improving recovery.

Cuts and Lacerations

Cuts and lacerations vary in severity, and while minor ones can often be treated at home with basic first aid, some require immediate medical attention. Cuts and lacerations might be considered medical emergencies if it is a large, gaping, deep wound or experiences uncontrolled bleeding. This medical emergency is also if the cut or laceration exposes deeper structures like tendons, muscles, or bones.

Fall Injury

Falls can cause a range of injuries, from minor bruises to severe fractures or head injuries. Certain falls or the aftermath of a fall may warrant immediate medical attention. Some examples of fall emergencies are falls resulting in head injury, unconsciousness, broken bones, and/or uncontrollable pain. 

Foreign Body Removal

In several circumstances, foreign body removal can become a medical emergency. While not exhaustive, the following instances include choking, a child swallowing a battery, eye injury, or inability to retrieve a foreign body with first aid. These instances require emergency medical care.  

Fractures and Dislocation Injury

Fractures and dislocations often result from traumatic injuries like falls, automobile accidents, or sports injuries. All require medical intervention, as broken bones and dislocations require a higher level of care in a facility with full X-ray and scanning capabilities.

Head Injuries and Concussions

Head injuries, including concussions, vary in severity. Some might be minor and only require observation, but others can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. Loss of consciousness, severe headache, vomiting, slurred speech, and neurological deficits are signs of a serious injury requiring emergency care.

Insect Bites and Stings

Insect bites and stings can vary in their reactions, from minor irritations to severe allergic reactions that can be life-threatening. While most bites and stings are not serious and can be treated at home, there are certain situations when they become a medical emergency.

Puncture Wounds

A puncture wound occurs when a sharp or pointed object penetrates the skin. While some puncture wounds can be minor and treated at home, there are certain scenarios where they should be considered a medical emergency or when they warrant medical attention. For example, the wound is deep, it requires foreign object removal, there is concern of tetanus, or the wound is in a place such as the face, neck or abdomen.

Seizures

Seizures can be concerning, and while not all seizures are medical emergencies, there are situations when immediate medical attention is necessary. Seizures resulting in unconsciousness, lasting longer than 5 minutes, are a result of heat exposure or dehydration, have no known cause,  or happen in someone very young or elderly and would be considered a medical emergency.

Sports Injuries

Sports injuries can range from minor to severe. While many injuries can be treated with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (the RICE method), others may require immediate medical attention. Some sports injuries require immediate medical attention because of head injuries, fractures, joint dislocations, severe swelling and pain, heat-related illnesses, and uncontrolled bleeding. 

Sprains

There are certain situations where a sprain might warrant immediate medical attention. Here’s when a sprain can be considered a medical emergency or when you should see a doctor: It presents with severe pain, deformity, inability to move or bear weight, or numbness or tingling.
