Critical: get emergency help now

For loss of consciousness, abnormal breathing, severe bleeding, or a suspected serious injury, call 120 and give your exact location, injury details, and a contact number.
While waiting for help, follow the dispatcher’s instructions; do not move the injured person unless there is immediate danger at the scene.

Emergency medical coordination (L3)

Urgent: go to the emergency department soon

For significant pain, swelling, or difficulty moving without the critical signs above, go to a hospital emergency department promptly for a professional assessment.
Tell the receiving staff when and how the injury happened, plus any known allergies and medicines currently in use.

Dedicated outpatient accompaniment (L2)

Less urgent: confirm an outpatient path

For a minor scrape or mild sprain with no immediate danger, contact an outpatient clinic or medical provider to confirm the appropriate care path.
If the situation changes or worsens, stop waiting and use the urgent care path.
