Definition
急诊 (jí zhěn) refers to the hospital's emergency department (noun) or the act of receiving emergency medical treatment there (verb). It contrasts with 急救 (jí jiù, 'first aid'), which is the immediate care given at the scene before reaching a hospital. 应急 (yìng jí) is a broader term for responding to any emergency, not just medical.
