IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Surgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU)

Surgical care is the most important feature in the recovery process of a patient, especially post-surgical care, immediately after surgery. Surgical intensive care units are specially meant for patients to get 24x7 care by surgery doctors and nursing staff. The ICU staff includes surgery doctors, specialist nurses, physical therapists, physician assistants, pharmacists and dietitians. Surgeries that are extremely complicated and put patients’ life at high risk are most likely to be transferred to intensive care units.
The ICU provides medical care to different types of requirements (cardiac, general surgical, neonatal, medical respiratory, neurosurgical etc). There are different types of intensive care units for these different conditions (neonatal intensive care unit, pediatric intensive care unit, coronary care unit, trauma intensive care unit, post-anesthesia care unit, surgical intensive care unit).
Intensive care units have special equipment to cater to special conditions
        mechanical ventilators through which patients can breathe easily
        cardiac monitors to show the heart rating of the patients
        dialysis equipment along with intravenous lines and feeding tubes
All these high tech equipment help to provide excellent surgical care to the patients.
A serious issue related to surgical intensive care unit is that they are available only in large hospitals. In emergency cases, a patient has to be transfer from one hospital to the other where the patient can be admitted in the ICU.
Surgery doctors have to take care of not only the patients but families too. The very name of ICU creates a sense of tension among family members therefore it is necessary that the surgery doctors and nurses properly communicate with the family members and keep them updated.
ICU care can be provided at home also with efficient care and supply of the equipment under the guidance of a professional team.
