Emergency

With modern infrastructure and a service flow designed to quickly and safely receive patients for 24 hours, the emergency department of Hospital São Lucas Copacabana is considered the largest one in the South of Rio de Janeiro - with more than a thousand square meters, high standard and differentiated architectural design.  The commitment to receive the patient in the best way consecrated the hospital with the Distinction in Emergency Services certification, in the Diamond category, from the IQG-Health Services Accreditation institute – which attests to the quality of care in Brazilian emergency departments. 

We have a safe flow in screening, medical and multidisciplinary teams with full-time personal protective equipment (PPE), two screening rooms for risk classification, nine medical offices and 14 “rest cubicles" with individualized structure for patients with infectious conditions. Emergency operating rooms with high-tech equipment and integration with the diagnostic imaging service and ICU are also available to patients. 

The emergency department has important differentials:

• Specialized emergency care in general surgery;
• Specialized emergency care in cardiology;
• Specialized emergency care in clinical medicine;
• Specialized emergency care in orthopedics;
• Specialized emergency care in otolaryngology.
