description

Emergency clinical trials involve the administration of the study drug to healthy human volunteers or to patients under the supervision of a qualified investigator, usually a physician, pursuant to a reviewed protocol. Research in this field continues to grow because this department is often considered as a desirable place to conduct clinical research due to the broad and undifferentiated spectrum of acute conditions encountered. There are some specific aspects when studying emergency medicine that have to be taken into account. One of them is the emphasis on ultrarapid diagnosis and treatment to save the critically ill emergency patient.
