About ICU & NICU

The ICU provides advanced care for critically ill adults, while the NICU supports premature and critically ill newborns requiring specialised monitoring.

Both units operate round the clock with trained intensivists and neonatologists.

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.
