Cardiac Emergencies
The moment a cardiac emergency arrives on scene, the Lourdes emergency treatment team at Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center or Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County is available to take action. Our staff will assess the situation and determine the severity of the problem.
In cases of cardiac arrest or myocardial infarction (heart attack), immediate medical response is absolutely essential. When treated early enough, damage to the heart can be minimized or even prevented. Physicians with special training in emergency medicine and registered nurses certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support work with determination, speed, and skill. Together, they treat and stabilize the patient when every minute counts.
Team members have a full array of high-tech equipment at their fingertips. If a heart attack or other cardiac crisis has occurred, the Coronary Care Unit, with its sophisticated cardiac monitoring devices and Critical Care Nurses, is readily available.
