For the residents of Chandigarh and the surrounding Tricity area, Mukat Hospital stands as a steadfast, unwavering pillar of support—a beacon of hope with its robust, state-of-the-art 24/7 Emergency and Trauma Services.

More than just an open door after midnight, Mukat Hospital’s emergency department is a meticulously engineered system of expertise, technology, and compassion, all focused on one singular mission: saving lives and ensuring the best possible recovery

Beyond the Clock: The Core Philosophy of 24/7 Emergency

The term “24/7” in healthcare is a promise—a non-negotiable commitment to readiness. At Mukat Hospital, this commitment is deeply woven into the fabric of their operations. It signifies:

1. Immediate Accessibility: The Golden Hour Advantage

Medical literature universally recognizes the “Golden Hour”—the critical first 60 minutes following a severe traumatic injury or medical emergency—as the period when intervention is most likely to be successful. Mukat Hospital’s 24/7 system is designed to maximize this window.

Dedicated Accident and Trauma Unit: This unit is purpose-built to handle mass and single trauma cases, equipped for rapid assessment and stabilization.
ACLS Ambulance Services: A fleet of Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) Ambulances ensures that life-saving care begins the moment the patient is picked up, facilitating a seamless transition of care from the scene to the hospital's trauma bay.
Centralized Location: Located strategically in the heart of the city, the hospital ensures minimal time spent in transit.

2. Unmatched Expertise at Every Hour

A world-class emergency department requires more than just machines; it needs skilled hands. Mukat Hospital maintains a dedicated, round-the-clock team of emergency physicians, trauma surgeons, and specialized nurses. This means that whether it’s 2 PM or 2 AM, your loved one is being attended to by:

A Haven for Critical Care: The Emergency ICU

For patients whose conditions are life-threatening, the battle often continues beyond the initial stabilization. This is where Mukat Hospital’s specialized Emergency Intensive Care Unit (Emergency ICU) becomes a critical lifeline.

The Emergency ICU is not just an extension of the emergency room; it is a meticulously controlled environment equipped to manage the most fragile and unstable patients.

State-of-the-Art Critical Care Technology

The unit is furnished with cutting-edge medical technology that ensures continuous, minute- by-minute monitoring and support:

Advanced Ventilators and Respiratory Support: For patients with severe respiratory failure, offering both invasive and non-invasive ventilation methods.
Continuous Cardiac and Hemodynamic Monitoring: State-of-the-art cardiac monitors track vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation, providing real- time data to the clinical team.
Defibrillators and Advanced Life Support Equipment: Ready for immediate deployment in case of cardiac arrest or life-threatening arrhythmias
Renal Support: Capability for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for patients experiencing acute kidney failure.

The Intensivist-Led Approach

The Emergency ICU operates under the direction of skilled Intensivists—doctors who specialize in critical care medicine. They oversee a multi-disciplinary team, crafting personalized care plans that are constantly adapted to the patient’s evolving condition. This unified, expert approach significantly improves outcomes for conditions like severe sepsis, multi-organ failure, and post-operative complications.

Specialized Emergency Care: Cardiology at the Forefront

Given its identity as the Mukat Hospital and Heart Institute, the facility holds a distinct advantage in managing one of the most time-sensitive emergencies: cardiac events.

A heart attack or severe arrhythmia requires immediate, specialized intervention to save heart muscle. Mukat Hospital’s 24/7 Emergency Cardiac Care provides a complete ecosystem for rapid treatment:

Rapid Chest Pain Protocol: A streamlined system ensures patients presenting with chest pain bypass unnecessary delays and are swiftly evaluated by a cardiologist.
24/7 Cath Lab: The hospital houses an advanced Cardiac and Vascular Cath Lab that is fully operational 24 hours a day. This readiness is crucial for performing emergency procedures like Angioplasty (PTCA) and Stent Placement, which can immediately restore blood flow to a blocked coronary artery—a procedure that must be performed within minutes to be maximally effective.
Interventional Cardiology Expertise: On-call interventional cardiologists are always prepared to perform complex, life-saving procedures, ensuring that the highest level of cardiac intervention is available around the clock.

This integration of emergency medicine with high-level cardiology means Mukat Hospital provides the kind of immediate, specialized care that dramatically increases survival rates for cardiac emergencies.
