Trauma & Wound Emergency Care
24/7 ER management of traumatic injuries and wounds—our physicians use rapid hemorrhage control, advanced imaging, and multimodal pain management to stabilize you before seamless referral for definitive care.
24/7 ER Hemorrhage Control and Wound Stabilization
When severe trauma or a deep wound occurs, every second matters. At Priority ER Care, our board-certified emergency physicians deliver immediate bleeding control and pain relief—under one roof, 24/7. From focused wound cleansing to advanced imaging and same-visit interventions, we handle your injury quickly to minimize complications and set you on the path to recovery.
When to Choose ER vs. Wound Clinic or Primary Care
Knowing where to seek help first can be lifesaving.
Go to Priority ER Care when you have:
- Uncontrolled bleeding that doesn’t stop with direct pressure
- Signs of shock or hypovolemia: rapid heart rate, lightheadedness, pale skin
- Deep or large lacerations exposing muscle, bone, or tendon
- Penetrating injuries (e.g., from glass, metal, animal bites)
- Suspected fractures or joint dislocations with open wounds
- Signs of infection in a wound: redness spreading, fever, chills
See a wound clinic or your primary care provider when you have:
- Superficial cuts or abrasions that bleed lightly and heal quickly
- Minor lacerations under 2 cm in a low-risk area
- Routine suture removal or dressing changes for a stable wound
- Chronic skin ulcers without acute infection or bleeding
- Cosmetic concerns (scar revision, mole checks)
When in doubt—especially if bleeding is heavy or you see systemic signs—Priority ER Care offers 24/7 stabilization and referral for definitive treatment.
