It is not true to say that Ayurvedic texts are not having description of emergency management. Ancient Acharyas have used various terms like Sadyah [1] Ashu [2], Twarita [3] in emergency conditions where quick management is needed. It is the right place to mention the reference of Sushruta Samhita in which Acharya has prescribed to use specific methods in emergency conditions.
