Services We Offer
Constant monitoring
Continuous observation of vital signs, such as heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation, using sophisticated electronic monitors.
Life support systems
Utilization of specialized medical equipment to take over or support failing organ function. This can include:
Mechanical ventilation
Machines that move air in and out of the lungs for patients with respiratory failure.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
A heart-lung bypass machine that circulates and oxygenates a patient’s blood outside the body.
Dialysis or Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT)
Machines that function as an “artificial kidney” to treat kidney failure.
Advanced procedures
Performance of complex procedures to maintain vital functions, such as:
Vascular access
Placing central lines, arterial lines, or other catheters for fluids, medication, or invasive monitoring.
Intubation and tracheostomy
Securing a patient’s airway to facilitate mechanical ventilation.
Pacemaker insertion
Temporarily inserting a cardiac pacemaker to regulate heart rhythm.
Medical management
Medication administration
Careful administration of powerful, time-sensitive medications to stabilize blood pressure, control infections, manage pain, and reduce anxiety.
Fluid management
Precise delivery of intravenous (IV) fluids and blood transfusions.
Pain management and sedation
Giving sedatives to keep patients comfortable and allow complex procedures to be performed without distress.
Interdisciplinary care and support
Multidisciplinary team
Care is provided by a coordinated team of specialists, including intensivists (critical care physicians), critical care nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and nutritionists.
Nutritional support
Ensuring patients receive adequate nutrition, often through intravenous or feeding tubes, to support recovery.
Rehabilitation
Incorporating early mobilization, physical therapy, and occupational therapy to prevent muscle weakness from prolonged bed rest.
Specialized critical care units
Many hospitals have different ICUs to provide focused care for specific conditions.
Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU)
For patients with severe heart conditions, like heart attacks or arrhythmias.
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
Ensuring patients receive adequate nutrition, often through intravenous or feeding tubes, to support recovery.
Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU)
For patients recovering from major or complicated surgeries.
