At Ascension Sacred Heart Bay, we’re committed to advancing heart care with the latest technology 💙. Our cardiovascular care teams are now using a new imaging system for pulse field ablation procedures to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib) — a common heart rhythm disorder that causes an irregular, often rapid heartbeat ❤️‍🔥.

This new system provides real-time imaging during the procedure, helping improve patient safety and reduce operating time ⏱️🩺.

Congratulations to our community partners Dr. Saeed Khaja, and Dr. Nghia Hoang and our entire heart care team on successfully completing their first procedures using this innovative technology. 👏 Learn more at http://ascn.io/6189fLH4x.

🎉 Ascension Sacred Heart Bay is celebrating an important milestone in patient safety! 🎉

It’s been more than a year since the hospital last had a Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI), an infection that occurs when germs enter the bloodstream from catheters usually in the neck, chest or groin that are used to give medicines, provide fluids or perform certain tests.

Chief Nursing Officer Libby Fuqua attributes this achievement to associates owning a zero harm culture expectation for patients and daily focused efforts by the Infection Prevention Team in collaboration with nurse leadership. Way to go, team!
