A specialized Chest Pain Evaluation Unit (CPEU) allows us to fully evaluate patients with complaints of chest pain and respond quickly and efficiently to cardiac emergencies. In addition, the emergency department provides an Urgent Care Fast Track area which allows us to reduce wait time for those non-emergent cases.
Specialists from 10 different areas including internal medicine, orthopedics, ENT, pediatrics, surgery, ophthalmology, GI, cardiology, interventional radiology and OB/GYN are on call 24 hours a day to provide consultation with the emergency department physicians.
The OSUMC nursing staff is one of the most highly skilled groups in Tulsa with a large percentage of staff members possessing advanced certification in emergency care.
