FAQs
Clearing your doubts
The terms ICU and Critical Care are often used interchangeably. The ICU refers to the specialized unit within a hospital where critically ill patients receive intensive monitoring and treatment. Critical Care, on the other hand, is a broader term that encompasses the comprehensive medical care provided to patients with life-threatening conditions, both within and outside the ICU setting.
Critical Care is provided to patients who are experiencing life-threatening conditions or require intensive monitoring and treatment. This may include individuals with severe infections, respiratory failure, heart attacks, strokes, major trauma, organ failure, or those recovering from complex surgeries. The need for Critical Care is determined by medical professionals based on the severity and complexity of the patient's condition.
In the Critical Care unit, patients undergo continuous monitoring of vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and other parameters. Additionally, specialized monitoring devices may be used to assess organ function, such as electrocardiograms (ECGs) for heart activity, arterial lines for blood pressure monitoring, or pulse oximeters for oxygen saturation monitoring. This allows healthcare providers to promptly detect any changes or deterioration in a patient's condition.
During a loved one's stay in the Critical Care unit, they will receive round-the-clock monitoring and specialized care from a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals. Visitors may have limited access due to the critical nature of the unit and infection control measures. Communication with the medical team is crucial, and they will provide regular updates on the patient's condition and treatment plan. The length of stay in Critical Care varies depending on the individual's condition and response to treatment.
Critical care is needed when a patient has a life-threatening condition such as respiratory failure, multi-organ dysfunction, severe trauma, septic shock, or serious post-operative complications that require continuous monitoring and advanced life support.
