Target Population

ER patients in need of emergent intervention


Description

For deep drainage procedures, our center can reduce the time to definitive treatment by up to six hours, with clinical outcomes comparable to those achieved through conventional surgery or CT-guided drainage. Patient and family satisfaction exceeds 90%, demonstrating strong trust within the Shuang-Ho community. As to nerve-blocking oriented pain control, our services for patients with lower back pain and fracture–dislocation injuries significantly decrease the use of systemic analgesics and related adverse effects, including peptic ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding. Using ultrasound-guided anesthetic injections, effective pain relief is typically achieved within 10–15 minutes. This rapid, effective, and low–side-effect approach has become an increasingly trusted pain management strategy in the region.


Key Highlights

The ER department at our hospital has established the "Advanced and Revolutionary Technique Center" to coordinate and deliver these treatments. We are a leading university hospital in Asia, capable of providing such services within the emergency department, utilizing real-time ultrasound guidance in a routine and large scale manner.
