Our nurses are certified in BLS, ACLS, and PALS, and are skilled in airway management, hemodynamic stabilization, and acute pain management. They ensure patients are safely monitored and stabilized before transitioning to the next phase of care—whether returning to the ambulatory unit or being admitted for continued treatment.
