Atención de emergencia
La atención de emergencia es el tratamiento de afecciones médicas de emergencia. Generalmente se proporciona en una sala de emergencias, pero también puede hacer referencia al tratamiento que se brinda en una ambulancia. Los médicos especialistas en medicina de emergencia pueden tratar a pacientes con lesiones o infecciones, además de afecciones potencialmente mortales.

Emergency department services and treatments
Our emergency department features the latest medical equipment for adults and children. Here, our experienced ER care teams provide swift, effective medical treatments.
Our emergency care program
We know no one gets better in the waiting room — which is why we've changed some things about ours. In our ER, 95 percent of our patients are taken directly to a treatment room and never sit in the waiting area.
We do this because our goal is to provide quick, expert care that responds to your needs. Our emergency physicians are available 24/7 to address your questions promptly and ensure your needs are met.
HCA HealthONE Swedish is proud to provide the first ER in the state to be verified as Pediatric Advanced by the Colorado Pediatric Preparedness for the Emergency Room program for our commitment, training and resources dedicated to providing the highest quality care to pediatric patients.
Treating more than 90,000 patients annually, our ER provides:
- A panel of board-certified specialists
- Board-certified adult and pediatric emergency medicine physicians
- Experienced nurses with certified emergency nursing (CEN) credentials
- Three dedicated trauma rooms — one specifically engineered and equipped for children
Low-risk chest pain program
If you come into our emergency department with chest pain, our initial assessments determine whether your symptoms are caused by a heart attack. If we rule out a cardiac event, our nurse practitioners (NPs) use our progressive program for low-risk chest pain to diagnose your condition. We also offer the same low-risk chest pain services at our freestanding HCA HealthONE Southwest ER, A part of Swedish location in Littleton.
Neurological intensive care unit (neuro ICU)
An extension of our neurological care program, our neurocritical care unit is equipped with 18 dedicated beds, advanced diagnostic capabilities and monitoring technology. They identify critical problems and prevent or minimize permanent neurological damage. With standardized protocols and management guidelines, our team offers you new hope.
Pediatric emergency services
HCA HealthONE Swedish provides comprehensive pediatric emergency care at all three of its affiliated emergency departments. Care is delivered by board-certified emergency physicians and nurses with specialized pediatric training and certifications, ensuring children receive age-appropriate treatment in a supportive environment.
This commitment to pediatric readiness is reflected in HCA HealthONE Swedish being the first acute care hospital in Colorado to earn the Colorado Pediatric Preparedness for the Emergency Room (COPPER) Advanced certification. COPPER is a statewide program that evaluates and recognizes emergency departments for their ability to care for children, with advanced certification indicating a high level of preparedness in areas such as pediatric-specific equipment, staff training, clinical protocols and quality improvement.
If your child requires hospital admission, we maintain a strong relationship with Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children, enabling efficient transfers and seamless continuity of care.
