Bronchoscopy, cystoscopy, laparoscopu, colonoscopy, and endoscopy are all procedures performed by physicians at Hoots Memorial. Most can be done on an outpatient basis. These procedures involve using fiber optics to see a patient's body, usually through a natural body opening. These kinds of procedures have decreased many exploratory surgical procedures, as patient costs. Registered nurses with special training in cardiac monitoring administer medications and monitor patients' progress under the guidance of physicians.
Resuscitative equipment is immediately available right in the unit, if needed.
