ICU
ICU stands for “Intensive Care Unit.” It is a specialized department within a hospital where critically ill patients receive intensive medical care and close monitoring. The primary purpose of the ICU is to provide specialized care for patients who have severe, life-threatening illnesses or have undergone complex surgical procedures.
At Varanasi Hospital, we have an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for patients requiring quick and consistent medical attention. Our ICU has numerous beds and advanced equipment to monitor every patient struggling with a critically ill condition.
What is the purpose of an ICU?
The primary purpose of having an ICU is to provide intensive medical care and close monitoring for critically ill patients who require specialized attention due to life-threatening conditions or complex medical needs.
What types of patients are treated in the ICU?
ICU patients can include those with conditions such as severe infections, respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, trauma injuries, post-operative complications, stroke, organ failure, and other critical health conditions.
Who takes care of a patient in the ICU?
The ICU team typically includes critical care physicians (intensivists), nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, dietitians, physical therapists, and other specialists as needed to provide comprehensive care for patients.
How is a patient's condition monitored in the ICU?
Patients in the ICU are continuously monitored using advanced medical equipment. This includes monitoring vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation), brain activity (EEG), and other parameters relevant to the condition of patients.
What is life support, and when is it used in the ICU?
Life support includes mechanical ventilation (breathing machines), cardiac support devices (e.g., pacemakers), and renal replacement therapy (dialysis). However, life support is used when a patient’s vital functions are compromised and need urgent assistance.
Note: Patients admitted to the ICU of Varanasi Hospital are attended by experienced and skilled physicians at regular intervals. The physicians perform patient care rounds every day to monitor the fluctuations in the health condition of every patient. Appropriate medical care is prescribed upon these rounds.
At Varanasi Hospital, we schedule meetings for doctors and patients’ families. This allows a patient’s family to understand the medical condition of a patient. Apart from this, family members are allowed to meet and interact with a patient at a scheduled time routinely.
