Recognizing the signs and symptoms of an emergency can be crucial in getting timely and effective care. You should seek emergency care if you experience any of the following:
- A head or spine injury
- Severe or uncontrollable bleeding
- Trouble breathing
- Confusion or unusual behavior
- Choking
- Loss of consciousness (passing out)
- Sudden or severe pain, especially in the chest or abdomen (belly)
- Uncontrollable vomiting or vomit with blood in it
- Sudden dizziness, weakness, or trouble seeing
- Thoughts about hurting yourself or others
Heart Attack
If you suspect a heart attack, call 911 immediately. Paramedics will conduct tests and send information to our Emergency Department team, who will alert the cardiology team. If needed, you will be taken directly to the cardiac catheterization lab for emergency procedures.
Stroke
Dial 911 if you or a loved one has stroke symptoms. Our stroke team, including paramedics, doctors, and nurses, will be alerted. Upon arrival, you will receive an immediate assessment and CT scan to determine treatment. Rehabilitation begins soon after stabilization.
Psychiatric Emergency Care
For psychiatric emergencies, call 911 and request a crisis-trained officer. For non-life-threatening situations, contact Bergen County’s Psychiatric Emergency Screening Program (201-262-HELP/4357) for 24/7 mental health evaluations and crisis intervention.
