The ICU is designed to provide a concentration of skills, equipment, and facilities for specialized medical and nursing care for critically ill patients and patients in unstable condition. Just as its name indicates, an ICU is a special ward found in most hospitals to provide intensive care (treatment and monitoring) following surgery, after an accident, or during severe illness. ICU patients need constant medical supervision and support to keep their bodies functioning. They may not be able to breathe on their own and may have multiple organ failure. Medical equipment sometimes performs the necessary functions for survival while the person recovers.

The mission of the Intensive Care Unit is to provide outstanding patient care to improve the health of critically ill patients, while being responsive to the individual needs of patients and health care providers.
\nOur care is guided by the needs of the patient. We treat every person with dignity and courtesy, and act with concern for the well-being of every person.
\nClinical Services ICU’s are highly regulated departments, typically limiting the number of visitors to the patient’s immediate family even during visiting hours. ICU patients often have several monitors attached to various parts of their bodies for real-time evaluation of medical stability. They benefit from specialized monitoring equipment, a high degree of medical expertise, and constant access to highly trained nurses. ICU care thus requires a multidisciplinary team that consists of Intensivists (clinicians who specialize in critical illness care); pharmacists and nurses; respiratory care therapists; and other medical consultants from a broad range of specialties including surgery.<\/p>\n
