What to Expect at the ER After a Motor Vehicle Accident?
When you reach Memorial Village Emergency Room we will perform a Motor Vehicle Accident Injury Diagnosis & Treatment. Our nurses and ER physicians will begin a chart that documents your injuries from the moment you arrive.
We begin by conducting a physical exam. Exam findings will be your basis in deciding whether future testing is required. If there is a need, we have emergency imaging services, which include X-rays and CT. These allow us to look for broken bones and injuries to internal organs.
If further testing is required, we can take X-rays of the ribs and chest, spine, or bones within the legs and arms. CT scans may be used for the neck and brain.
What You May Notice After ER Treatment
After an accident, most patients come to our ER with minimal pain and mild soreness, but overtime they often experience increasing pain within 24 to 72 hours after an accident, which can last 1 to 3 weeks or longer.
In other scenarios, some patients can experience unexpected pain days after the accident. Often due to a delayed reaction by the body in near by tissue, muscles and tendons.
