Intensive Care Unit

About the Intensive Care Unit

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) provides specialized care for patients who require close observation, advanced monitoring, or life-support treatment. Care is coordinated by a multidisciplinary team and tailored to each patient's condition and response to treatment.

The unit combines continuous bedside supervision with specialized equipment to support patients recovering from severe illness, major surgery, trauma, or other critical conditions.

What Families Can Expect

The care team regularly evaluates each patient's condition and updates the treatment plan as needed. Families receive guidance about visiting, infection-prevention requirements, and how clinical updates are communicated.

Because ICU patients are medically vulnerable, visiting may be limited to protect patients and allow the team to provide uninterrupted care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a patient admitted to the ICU?

A patient may need ICU care when their condition requires continuous monitoring, specialized treatment, or support for essential body functions.

Can family members visit?

Visiting is usually possible according to unit policy and the patient's clinical condition. The care team will explain current visiting arrangements.

How are families updated?

The designated family contact receives updates from the clinical team. Information is shared in a way that protects the patient's privacy.

What happens when intensive care is no longer required?
