The ICU team includes critical care physicians, critical care nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and other specialists who work together to provide specialized care to each patient. The unit is equipped with advanced technology and equipment to provide continuous monitoring, life support, and specialized treatments for critically ill patients.

Conditions that may require admission to the ICU include:

  1. Respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation
  2. Shock or sepsis requiring intravenous medications and fluid support
  3. Traumatic injuries, such as severe head trauma or multiple fractures
  4. Major surgeries or organ transplants
  5. Cardiac events, such as heart attack or heart failure
  6. Neurological emergencies, such as stroke or intracranial hemorrhage

The goal of the ICU is to provide the highest level of care to critically ill patients while minimizing pain and discomfort. The care provided in the ICU is focused on stabilizing the patient’s condition, preventing complications, and promoting healing. The length of stay in the ICU varies depending on the patient’s condition and response to treatment. Once a patient’s condition stabilizes, they may be transferred to a regular hospital unit or discharged from the hospital.
