An Innovative Approach on CBRNe

As a leading university hospital, UZ Brussels is committed to enhancing preparedness for CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive) incidents. In our latest training exercise, we will simulate the decontamination of patients exposed to CBRNE hazards, ensuring our medical teams are equipped to handle large-scale emergencies effectively.

Robots for the Children in the Emergency Department

As information dissemination and distraction therapy become an operational priority, assistance by robots in these tasks is researched in our ED. Found out more about the perception testing of our caregivers towards robotics and operational readiness in a high stakes environment.

Connected Ambulance

The connected ambulance is a project, founded by CEDIMED Brussels – A university Hospital in Brussels, which strives to satisfy the needs of the patients, caregivers and institutions when it comes to interhospital transport. It is built to transport a range of patients for example premature babies, who are urgently in need of a specialized neonatal center, or adult patients who need to be transported for neurosurgery or other invasive supportive treatments.

Ik lig momenteel op spoed en wordt opgenomen.Het personeel is uiterst professioneel en heel behulpzaam. Ik zou mijn dank willen betuigen.

- Maddy Gielen

Venu en urgence pour une douleur... Opéré le soir même, mis en service abdominal. Personnel soignant au top. Très empathique.

- Hamza Mike

Extrêmement bien reçu aux urgences. L'attente est longue mais, vu la quantité de malades, c'est compréhensible. Les infirmières sont de vrais professionnels en pédiatrie, les médecins très doux avec les enfants.
