Technology

You can take comfort in the fact that should any complications take place during the birth of your baby, we are fully equipped to handle them. In fact, anesthesiologists who work with Sacred Heart Hospital have been so impressed by our “best-of-the-best practice” when it comes to quick reaction times and excellent outcomes during emergency Cesarean sections, that they have arranged for us to share our procedure with other hospitals.

Some of the innovative obstetrical technologies you’ll find at Sacred Heart Hospital include:

• A Level II special care nursery to provide for infants with extraordinary needs.
• A central monitoring system, which allows our nurses to keep a close eye on you and your baby—tracking every heartbeat and contraction. When and if a problem occurs the system immediately alerts the nursing staff.
• Ultrasound technology that permits doctors to quickly check the well-being and position of your baby.
• A Secure Care, infant safety and security system that sounds an alarm and locks down the hospital doors should an infant be taken too close to an exit.
• A noninvasive Bilicheck monitor to measure bilirubin using light. A procedure that avoids needless laboratory blood draws and expense and doesn’t even wake most sleeping babies.
