The ICU helps support the management of all critically ill patients. On arrival all trauma patients are assessed and resuscitated in the Emergency and then transferred to ICU for further resuscitation. Patients who undergo emergency surgical procedures are also transferred to ICU for both continued resuscitation and for post-operative care as appropriate. The ICU maintains a strict 1:1 patient-nurse ratio.

Our ICU beds are monitored with multichannel monitoring, both at bedside and at the central nursing station. All facilities, including ventilators and invasive monitoring are available at the bedside. All procedures like various invasive lines, percutaneous tracheostomies are performed at the bedside. Strict protocols are adhered to in the day-to-day management of patients.

The Intensive Care Unit is manned by two full-time consultants and supported by highly-trained nurses, physiotherapists and nutritionists. Strict Infection Control measures are instituted and their performance is regularly audited.
