We allow one relative per patient inside of ICUs at all times who can accompany the patient and monitor patient care.
We have latest multipara monitors for invasive and non-invasive monitoring with a central monitor. All the beds are fully equipped with latest monitors, ventilator support, syringe pumps for minute monitoring of small quantity of drugs etc.
These ICUs are capable of treating patients with complex medical problems like septicemia, multi-organ failure (renal failure, respiratory failure, cardiac failure etc.), various types of poisoning, high-risk/complicated surgical patients, road traffic accidents, post renal and liver transplant patients, diabetic complications etc.
ICU is a very popular specialty for trainee physicians, surgeons and anesthesiologists as the practical skills acquired are transferable to all disciplines. Our multidisciplinary ICUs have a basic introductory program for the rotating residents of other departments as well as detailed academic programs for their residents and fellows. These programs include lectures, symposiums, case discussions, CMEs and extensive clinical exposure in one of the best ICU setups.
Last but not the least our protocols and patient outcomes are under constant peer review. We have high number of interdepartmental consultations for optimal patient management. We also have an on-going ICU audit system with analysis of predicted and actual outcome analysis using severity of illness scoring systems, monitoring of protocol adherence in ICU procedures, hygiene, infection control etc. There are on-going internal training programs for the medical and nursing staff.
