Decizii contra cronometru la Spitalul Județean Sibiu: „Nu așteptăm să avem toate analizele pentru a acționa”

The role of an internist during a shift involves rapid patient evaluation and decision-making, especially in critical cases. Dr. Oana Claudia Moșteanu from Sibiu explains the importance of prioritizing unstable patients and acting quickly without waiting for all test results. In emergencies like severe respiratory distress or chest pain, immediate action is crucial. Decisions about patient care, including whether to discharge or admit to intensive care, are made based on clinical assessments and patient stability. Internists must consider the whole patient, as multiple conditions can affect symptoms and treatment.
