SCOPE OF SERVICES
WHEN SHOULD YOU CONSULT?
Pediatric Emergency Room
Our pediatric emergency room area is specially designed to ensure our pediatric patients receive the most accurate and sensitive care in emergencies. Our Pediatricians, who are on duty 24/7, quickly evaluate our little patients. The treatment and observation of our pediatric patients are carried out in a completely separate area from our adult patients, in a special 6-bed pediatric observation room. This physical separation ensures that children are minimally affected by the hospital environment and offers a great advantage in terms of patient privacy and family comfort.
Obstetrics and Gynecology Emergency Room
Emergencies related to gynecology and pregnancy are time-critical processes that require special expertise. Within the scope of our obstetric emergency services, conditions such as pregnancy complications, sudden bleeding, or severe pain are intervened immediately thanks to our Obstetricians and Gynecologists who are present in our hospital 24/7. All processes are meticulously carried out to ensure the health of the mother and baby.
Conditions and Illnesses Treated
In our emergency room, suddenly developing, life-threatening, or emergency health problems of patients of all ages are treated. The main conditions treated include:
- Heart attacks and arrhythmias
- Stroke and brain hemorrhages
- Traumas caused by traffic accidents, falls, and workplace accidents
- Respiratory failure and severe shortness of breath
- Acute abdominal pain (appendicitis, gallbladder inflammation, etc.)
- Poisoning and allergic reactions
- Burns and deep cuts
- High fever-related seizures (convulsions)
Diagnostic Methods
In medical emergencies, even seconds matter. Therefore, laboratory, diagnosis, follow-up, and treatment processes in our emergency room are carried out with a fast, patient-specific approach. Advanced imaging facilities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and ultrasonography are available continuously for 24 hours. Our hospital's radiology department constantly supports our emergency room with state-of-the-art equipment and 24/7 tele-radiology services.
When necessary, some imaging procedures for patients who cannot be moved from the emergency room for radiological examinations can be performed at the bedside with mobile devices. Our biochemistry laboratory, which directly supports the operation of our emergency room, is equipped with the latest devices. Many emergency tests are concluded in as little as one hour, while some critical tests are finalized in no more than 10 minutes. This speed allows us to make the right decision for the treatment of our critically ill patients as quickly as possible.
Treatment Methods and Procedures
Depending on the condition of our patients, a wide variety of treatment methods and interventions are applied in our emergency room. The special areas and applications in our unit are:
- Triage and Initial Intervention: The urgency of patients is quickly determined in our triage room, which is suitable for evaluating 3 patients simultaneously.
- Advanced Life Support (Resuscitation): In cases of cardiac and respiratory arrest, we have a resuscitation room equipped with all the equipment to ensure that resuscitation is carried out in accordance with international standards.
- CBRN Decontamination: In cases of chemical or biological poisoning, we have a CBRN room right at the entrance to decontaminate patients before they are admitted to the emergency room.
- Trauma and Surgical Intervention: All kinds of injuries are immediately treated with our emergency surgical intervention room, trauma room, plaster room, and burn dressing room.
