Cardiac and Respiratory Stabilization

Our Services

Cardiac and Respiratory Stabilization

Serious heart and breathing problems can affect oxygen delivery, circulation, consciousness, and other vital functions.

At New Padre Garcia Hospital, emergency and inpatient teams may provide available stabilization for patients experiencing chest pain, abnormal heart rate, breathing difficulty, low oxygen levels, or other serious cardiopulmonary concerns.

Treatment is based on rapid assessment of the patient’s airway, breathing, circulation, vital signs, symptoms, medical history, and physician’s evaluation.

Patients requiring advanced cardiac, respiratory, or intensive care beyond the hospital’s capabilities may be stabilized and transferred to an appropriate facility.
