Assessment of Functioning of Non-psychiatric Physicians in the Management of Psychiatric Emergencies

چکیده
The literature from India is conspicuous by paucity of well-planned studies on psychiatric emergencies. Trivedi and Gupta (1982) in a retrospective study found that 2.9 % of the total patients coming to emergency room of a general hospital were diagnosed to be having psychiatric illness. In a prospective study by Kelkar et al (1982) the figure was 5.4%. However, both of these studies have not addressed the issue of management of psychiatric emergencies by non-psychiatric physicians. We studied this aspect of psychiatric emergencies in a descriptive study of four months duration conducted at the Casualty Department of All-India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi.
