Intensive care represents the highest level of patient care and treatment designated for critically ill patients with potentially recoverable life-threatening conditions.The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services defines critical illness or injury as “acutely impairing one or more vital organ systems such that there is a high probability of imminent or life-threatening deterioration in the patient’s condition”.Intensive care (critical care) is specifically designed in our hospital for the management of patients at risk of developing or with established, life-threatening organ failure.The capacity to temporarily support and if necessary, replace the function of many failing organ systems, particularly the lungs, cardiovascular system and kidneys, is what underscores intensive care medicine. Our well experienced nurses committed to the management and continuous monitoring of patients with life-threatening conditions.

 

The aim of our intensive care staffs are to maintain vital functions in order to prevent further physiological deterioration, reduce mortality and prevent morbidity in critically ill patients. Provision of intensive care is within the continum of primary, secondary and tertiary care, with the majority of these services delivered in the secondary-care setting.
