Treatment & Procedures

Tracheostomy

In some cases, when a patient's airways are restricted, an emergency tracheostomy is performed to allow a tube to go directly from a ventilator to the patient's windpipe through a precise incision on the neck. The procedure allows the patient to breathe while other diagnostic approaches and treatments are considered.

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a medical facility equipped with advanced technology for monitoring and treating patients with acute organ dysfunction. Its mission is to prevent further physiological deterioration, mortality, and morbidity. ICUs are divided into medical, surgical, paediatric, and neonatal units, each with specialised equipment for specific conditions. Usually, patients with serious organ issues, like heart attacks or pneumonia, are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).

FAQ's

Patients with serious, life-threatening diseases or injuries are treated in a specific section of the hospital called the intensive care unit (ICU). Specialised care, such as life support, is also provided in the ICU.
 

When someone is critically ill and needs close supervision and intensive treatment, or when they are having surgery and need intensive care to help them heal, they need intensive care. The majority of patients in an ICU struggle with one or more organ dysfunctions. For instance, patients might not be able to breathe by themselves because their lungs do not function normally or are damaged.
 

Critical illness, including heart, lung, kidney, mouth, brain, and spinal cord diseases, infections, and serious injuries, requires critical care for life-threatening conditions such as poisoning, surgical problems, and premature birth, as well as serious injuries.
 

When a patient's vital organs fail, they can receive a variety of therapies known together as "life support." Mechanical ventilators, sometimes referred to as "breathing machines," are most frequently mentioned when the term "life support" is used. By forcing air into the lungs, mechanical ventilation aids in breathing. An intravenous tube that passes through the patient's mouth and into the windpipe connects the patient to the mechanical ventilator. Patients may just require an oxygen mask placed over their mouths and noses if they require less lung support than mechanical ventilation.
 

ICU patients are extremely ill. They are frequently linked to numerous monitors, which enable medical personnel to keep a minute-by-minute check on their vital signs. Intravenous (IV) tubes are frequently inserted into patients' arms and necks to allow for the direct administration of drugs and fluids into their veins. Urine is frequently drained and collected from their bodies via a catheter inserted inside. Additionally, some patients are hooked up to life support devices like dialysis or breathing apparatuses. In order to put liquid meals straight into their stomach, patients may also have a tube inserted through their mouth or nose. Many patients are given sedatives so they can handle the tubes, IVs, and life support.
 

For individuals who have a serious illness, a few might get depression. Long-term sadness, losing interest in once-enjoyable hobbies, difficulty concentrating, changes in the mood, and irregular sleep patterns are all possible signs of depression. Manipal Hospitals also provides the best suitable patient counselling to prevent and treat such ICU depression.
 

Survivors of serious illnesses frequently face a protracted and challenging road to recovery. Critical illness survivors must deal with serious and permanent impairments during their hospital stay and after they are discharged from the intensive care unit. Numerous of these symptoms are manageable and rehabilitable over time.
 

ICU patients who are intubated or sedated usually have a barrier to communication as they experience difficulty speaking or are unconscious. Other patients who are oriented can communicate well.
 

Adequate care is taken for the patient to not get any secondary infection by strict adherence to infection control guidelines. All the ICU staff must follow the provided guidelines while entering and leaving the ICU and while attending to the patient. Proper antibiotic dosing is done in patients to reduce the risk of secondary infection. The use of sterile techniques and regular monitoring by infection control experts ensure the patient’s safety and well-being during their stay in the ICU.
 

CPR or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is given to ICU patients when their heart rate is less than 60 beats per minute, which is called sinus bradycardia. CPR is also administered if heart rhythm is absent. CPR includes giving chest compressions to the patient along with a dose of atropine and trying to revive their heart rate to normal values again.
 

Critically ill patients need a lot of quiet time. For this reason, it is best to limit visits to members of the patient's immediate family. To protect the comfort of other patients, ideally, no more than two visitors should arrive at once.
