Abstract

We established the first emergency and critical care center in the Tokai region of Japan in 1978, and opened new center in 2006 in response to an increase in the number of patients. To solve the time loss and patient burden required for room transfers at emergency room （ER）, which had been an issue since its initial operation, A two-room type Hybrid ER （Angio-CT） system was installed in the central part of the ER, in a room that combined a computed tomography （CT） room and an angiography room of the radiology department. We started installation of Hybrid ER system in September 2020, and after about 3 months we started operation in December of the same year. We have been able to perform medical examination, using CT scanning, Interventional radiology （IVR）, and surgery without transferring patients. The Hybrid ER system is useful for diagnosis and treatments of many emergency diseases that use both fluoroscopy and CT scanning, including orthopedic diseases as well as severe trauma, stroke, and CPA treatment. It is hoped that the Hybrid ER system will be widely used in ER-type emergencies.
