About icu
ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) provide advanced, continuous medical care for critically ill adults and newborns who require close monitoring, life-support, and rapid medical intervention
These units are essential for managing severe infections, respiratory failure, cardiac and neurological emergencies, post-operative complications, and premature or medically fragile newborns
Overview
Care within the ICU and NICU follows a structured, vigilant clinical pathway:
Step 1: Admission & Risk Assessment
Patients are admitted based on severity and clinical need, often from Emergency, Operation Theatres, or Labour Rooms.
Step 2: Stabilisation & Life Support
Immediate interventions may include ventilatory support, cardiac monitoring, intravenous medications, fluids, and specialised neonatal support.
Step 3: Continuous Monitoring
Vital parameters—heart rate, oxygen levels, blood pressure, and neurological status— are monitored continuously.
Step 4: Multidisciplinary Care
Intensivists coordinate closely with cardiologists, neurologists, surgeons, neonatologists, and anesthesiologists.
Step 5: Recovery & Transition
As the patient stabilises, care is gradually stepped down to a ward or specialised unit.
