ED Manag. 2004 Apr;16(4):44-5.
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) still may apply once a patient's initial emergency medical condition has been resolved. Another emergency that arises while the patient still is in your ED could trigger another EMTALA obligation. Emergency physicians are not necessarily obligated to conduct another exam every time the patient complains of something new. Medical judgment should determine when the patient's complaint requires another examination.
一旦患者的初始紧急医疗状况得到解决，《紧急医疗救治与分娩法案》（EMTALA）仍可能适用。患者仍在急诊室时出现的另一种紧急情况可能引发另一项EMTALA义务。急诊医生不一定每次患者抱怨新情况时都有义务进行另一次检查。医疗判断应决定患者的抱怨何时需要另一次检查。
