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).
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.
HealthCare at HOME India (HCAH) is one such health care facility that provides
home-based ICU care for the patients. Some of the ICU services that HCAH
provides are: care of IV lines, proper ICU infrastructure, DVT prophylaxis,

uncompromised care of the patient. ICU care at home reduces excessive amount of
hospitals bills and reduces the hospital visits making it both cost and time
