When a significant accident occurs and the need for wound care and various emergency services is required, there are agreed upon steps used in most hospital situations to ensure a standard level of care that will allow a patient to receive the best care wherever he or she is taken for treatment and recovery. While it would be unlikely that a vital signs monitor would be required for minor cuts and scrapes, sometimes recovering from significant injuries requires constant supervision from a medical professional and in a professional facility, there are shifts of medical personnel around at all times for this purpose.
