EDs deal with life-threatening emergencies. For example, if someone:

is breathless
is feeling unwell and getting sicker very quickly
has not peed in over 12 hours and does not need to pee
is not feeling well and has become confused and agitated
is very pale with cold hands and feet
is dizzy when they sit up or unable to stand
has developed a rash that does not disappear when pressed down

Less severe injuries can be treated in an injury unit.
