Common reasons to visit our emergency department

At Hospital Quirónsalud Costa Adeje, we recommend visiting the Emergency Department whenever a patient experiences symptoms that could indicate a serious health issue, or simply feels that something is not right. When in doubt, it is always best to seek medical advice: acting quickly can make all the difference.

Some of the most important symptoms that require urgent medical attention include:

• Difficulty breathing or a sensation of shortness of breath.

• Intense and persistent chest pain or pressure (possible heart attack).

• Sudden weakness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or seeing (possible stroke).

• Loss of consciousness, severe dizziness or sudden confusion (stress, anxiety, heatstroke).

• Severe allergic reactions.

• Concerning bleeding: rapid blood loss, vomiting blood, rectal or anal bleeding. If dizziness or fainting occurs, call immediately.

• Sudden and severe pain from the lower back to the pubic area (possible kidney stone).

• Inability to move, swelling or visible deformity after an injury (possible sprain or fracture).

• Extensive burns or burns in sensitive areas of the body.

• Very intense or unusual pain in any part of the body.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need an appointment to visit the emergency department?

A: No appointment is necessary. Our emergency department is open 24/7, 365 days a year, and welcomes walk-in patients for emergency medical care in Tenerife.

Q: What should I bring to the emergency room?

A: Please bring a valid ID, your medical insurance card if you have one, and a list of any medications you are currently taking. This helps our doctors (Arzt / Doktor) provide the best care.

Q: Are pediatric emergency services available?

A: Yes, although we currently do not have a permanent on-site paediatrician in the Emergency Department, we have an organised and efficient system in place to ensure paediatric care is provided whenever needed.

• From Monday to Friday, between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm, a paediatrician is available on-site at the hospital.
• At weekends and on public holidays, the paediatrician is on call and can be activated if necessary.

When a family brings a child to the Emergency Department, we offer two options for care:

• Registration through the Emergency Department: the child will initially be assessed by a general practitioner. If needed, the paediatrician will be contacted either to attend in the Emergency Department or to see the patient in the outpatient clinic, located just next to the Emergency area (a one-minute walk).

• Direct access via Outpatient Consultations: the child may be seen directly by the paediatrician on duty, being added to the day’s consultation list as a walk-in patient.

If the child requires hospital admission, the paediatrician will be fully responsible for their care throughout the hospital stay (ward rounds, clinical monitoring and discharge).

>> Our aim is to ensure that every child receives safe, prompt and personalised care, even in urgent situations.

Q: Do you accept private insurance and international travel insurance?

A: Yes, we accept most national and international health insurance plans. Please verify coverage with your insurer.

These include a wide range of cases across almost all medical and surgical specialties: trauma, abdominal problems, neurological issues, paediatrics, cardiac and respiratory conditions, infections, ophthalmology, ENT, urology, toxicology, neurosurgery, and internal medicine.
