emergency department
Also called 'emergency room' or 'emergency ward'.
"(in a health care facility) a section of an institution that is staffed and equipped to provide rapid and varied emergency care, especially for those who are stricken with sudden and acute illness or who are the victims of severe trauma. The emergency department may use a triage system of screening and classifying clients to determine priority needs for the most efficient use of available personnel and equipment. Also called emergency room."

Discussion
and the "column" here I think is not a place or device but a process for dealing with all kinds of criticical medical situations. almost like another word for triage: see the norwegian definition below.
I tend toward "acute column"
