Intensive Care Unit (ICU)

Intensive Care Units are hospital wards with the highest level of care for patients in critical health conditions. Our team of physicians, nurses, and specialists from various medical disciplines is committed to providing the best available medical treatment to help save lives and facilitate recovery.

ICU patients require constant monitoring and intensive medical interventions. Some of the services provided in ICUs include:

  • Mechanical ventilation: For patients who can't breathe on their own.
  • Intravenous (IV) therapy: For fluids, medications, and nutrients administration as needed.
  • Dialysis: For patients with kidney failure.
  • Continuous monitoring of vital signs—Like heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels.
  • Pain management—Keeping the patient comfortable, and managing pain safely.
  • Nutritional support To ensure the patient receives the right amount of nutrition.
  • Physiotherapy and occupational therapy: To help patients regain their health and well-being.
  • Life-threatening Infections That might require intensive therapeutic care.
  • Post-operative care: Patients who undergo major surgery may stay in the ICU for monitoring and support as needed.

The decision for admission into ICU and the specific types of treatment needed is guided by physician order.
