Raising the Bar for Emergency Care
Our nurses, surgeons and emergency physicians are trained to provide the highest quality critical care, and we equip our emergency rooms with leading-edge technology to help them do so.
-
Computed Tomography (CT) Scans
CT scan findings help us make rapid stroke diagnoses to rule out intracranial hemorrhage (ICH).
-
Advanced Technology for Immediate Heart Care
During a cardiac emergency, every second counts. In our heart catheterization laboratory, we have the tools to evaluate heart health and find blockages quickly.
-
Electrocardiogram (EKG) Technology
Using electrodes connected to a computer monitor, we can record the heart’s electrical activity and identify an abnormal heart rate or rhythm.
-
Electronic Visit Documentation
Notes from your visit will be available to you electronically, so you, your caregiver and your providers can access them anytime, anywhere.
-
Inter-Hospital Transfers
When one of our ERs is at capacity, our UChicago Medicine AdventHealth emergency teams will coordinate to find you the emergency attention you need once your medical condition has been stabilized.
-
Sophisticated Diagnostic Imaging Services
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-rays allow us to look at what’s happening inside your body without performing an invasive procedure.
