If you’re due to have a medical treatment or surgery in hospitals, there may be a chance that you’ll need to stay in an intensive care unit (ICU) afterwards. ICU is a specialised unit in a hospital that provides intensive medical care and monitoring for patients who are critically ill or recovering from major surgery. It is also sometimes referred to as the Intensive Therapy Unit (ITU).
A stay in the ICU might be needed if you need close monitoring, one-to-one nursing or specialised medical treatment following your procedure. This could include monitoring your heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, or other vital signs. You may also need specialised treatments or procedures, such as mechanical ventilation, dialysis, or blood transfusions.
During your stay in the ICU, you and your family can expect to receive a high level of care and support from the medical team. You will be closely monitored by our doctors and nurses, who are trained to manage complex medical conditions and respond quickly to any changes in your condition. Your family will also be kept informed of your progress and involved in decisions about your care.
It’s normal to feel anxious or overwhelmed about staying in the ICU, but it’s important to remember that the ICU is a specialised unit designed to provide the highest level of care and support possible. The medical team will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs and provides the best possible outcome. With the right care and support, most patients are able to recover fully and leave the ICU within a few days or weeks.
