The QE2 Health Sciences Halifax Infirmary Site has recently undergone extensive renovations to enhance patient care in Nova Scotia. Among the notable additions are state-of-the-art interventional radiology suites and a hybrid operating room, which enable our physicians to deliver more efficient and effective care, resulting in shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times for patients.
The interventional suites feature cutting-edge equipment for image-guided diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that are much less invasive than traditional surgical methods. This innovative technology allows our physicians to perform a range of new, advanced procedures while also reducing wait times for patients.
The Hybrid Operating Room is a unique space that combines the imaging capabilities of a catheterization lab with those of a surgical suite, enabling our physicians to perform more complex procedures and assess treatments in real-time. This approach saves critical time in emergency situations by eliminating the need for patient transfers between floors and care teams.
