Home doctors in Dubai offer a valuable service, especially during emergencies. While they are equipped to handle a wide range of urgent medical needs, there are limitations to the procedures they can perform outside a clinical setting. Let’s explore what emergency procedures home doctors can manage and when you might need hospital care.

Emergency Procedures Home Doctors Can Perform

1. Wound Care and Suturing
Home doctors are trained to clean, stitch, and dress wounds effectively. They can also address minor cuts or abrasions to prevent infection.

2. Management of Acute Illnesses
For conditions such as severe headaches, fevers, or respiratory distress, home doctors can provide immediate relief through medication or oxygen therapy.

3. First Aid for Injuries
They can stabilize sprains, minor fractures, or dislocations until further treatment is obtained at a hospital if necessary.

4. IV Therapy and Medication Administration
Emergency IV drips for dehydration, pain management, or antibiotic administration are within the scope of a home doctor’s services.

5. Basic Cardiovascular Support
In cases of high blood pressure, chest pain, or mild cardiac irregularities, home doctors can perform initial assessments and administer first-line treatments.

Procedures Beyond a Home Doctor’s Scope

While home doctors can manage many urgent situations, there are some procedures they cannot perform at home:

Advanced Surgical Procedures: Complex surgeries require hospital settings with specialized equipment.
Severe Trauma Treatment: Extensive injuries or fractures need imaging and surgical intervention in a hospital.
Critical Care for Heart Attacks or Strokes: Immediate transfer to an emergency department is essential in such cases.
Childbirth Assistance: Complicated deliveries require hospital facilities for the safety of both mother and child.
Advanced Diagnostic Imaging: X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans are not feasible during home visits.

When to Call a Home Doctor for Emergencies

Home doctors are ideal for situations that require urgent but non-critical care. Call a home doctor if you or a loved one experience:

• High fever unresponsive to medication
• Minor injuries or burns
• Dehydration requiring IV fluids
• Severe headaches or migraines
• Sudden allergic reactions
