The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a specialized, high-dependency unit dedicated to the care of critically ill and life-threatening patients. It provides continuous monitoring, advanced life support, and comprehensive medical intervention for patients with severe illnesses, major surgeries, trauma, or organ failure.
Operating 24/7, the ICU integrates multidisciplinary expertise, cutting-edge technology, and stringent safety protocols to ensure rapid response and optimal outcomes for critically ill patients.
Scope of Services
The ICU provides a broad spectrum of critical care services, including:
- Advanced Life Support (ALS): Respiratory support, cardiac monitoring, and emergency resuscitation.
- Mechanical Ventilation: Management of patients with respiratory failure using invasive and non-invasive ventilation.
- Hemodynamic Monitoring: Continuous tracking of blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and other vital parameters.
- Renal Support: Dialysis for patients with acute or chronic kidney failure.
- Post-Operative Critical Care: Monitoring and management after major surgeries or complex interventions.
- Sepsis and Infection Management: Timely intervention for critically ill patients with infections or systemic inflammatory conditions.
- Multisystem Organ Support: Care for patients with multi-organ dysfunction, including liver, kidney, and cardiac support.
Key Objectives:
- Ensure rapid detection and management of life-threatening conditions.
- Provide continuous monitoring and immediate intervention.
- Minimize complications associated with critical illness.
- Support early rehabilitation and recovery.
Infrastructure & Equipment
The ICU is equipped with advanced medical infrastructure to support complex patient care:
- Patient Monitoring Systems: Continuous ECG, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and respiratory monitoring.
- Mechanical Ventilators & Respiratory Support: Invasive and non-invasive ventilation, oxygen therapy, and high-flow systems.
- Infusion Pumps & Medication Delivery Systems: Precision administration of fluids, vasopressors, and critical medications.
- Renal Support & Dialysis Equipment: Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and hemodialysis.
- Critical Care Beds & Life Support Equipment: Designed for safe patient handling and rapid emergency intervention.
- Infection Control Measures: Laminar airflow, negative pressure rooms, and strict sterilization protocols.
