EMerge is a Sri Lankan emergency medicine initiative born inside the A&E at CSTH. We build practical, resource-adapted teaching and protocols for the people who actually run the resus room — doctors, nurses, healthcare assistants and post-graduate trainees.
Educate
Bite-sized teaching, simulation days and bedside rounds tuned to real Sri Lankan EDs.
Elevate
Lift the floor of care — checklists, algorithms and quality improvement everyone can use.
Excel
Build a network of frontline innovators publishing local data and protocols.
Built for our reality
Standard textbooks assume things we don't always have. Our protocols are written for the ED we actually work in.
| Traditional guidelines | EMerge adaptation |
|---|---|
| Advanced imaging — MRI, CT, angiography | Focused POCUS — echo, lung, abdomen |
| Immediate specialist backup | Clinical diagnosis + direct phone call |
| Unlimited central oxygen | Targeted O₂ — portable tank, titrated |
