Diagnosis and Treatments
Critical care is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating life-threatening conditions. Patients in critical care units (CCUs) require constant monitoring, advanced medical interventions, and expert care to improve survival rates and recovery outcomes. At Jeevan Hospital, we provide comprehensive critical care services, ensuring that patients receive timely and effective treatment during medical emergencies.
Diagnostic Approach
In critical care units, immediate diagnostics are essential for timely decision-making. Point-of-care testing (POCT) plays a vital role in the rapid assessment of critically ill patients, allowing for bedside evaluations that expedite diagnosis and treatment. Key diagnostic tools include:
Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) Analysis
Evaluates oxygenation, ventilation, and acid-base status, providing immediate information about respiratory function.
Portable Imaging
Bedside ultrasonography and mobile X-rays facilitate prompt identification of conditions such as pneumothorax, pleural effusion, or cardiac tamponade without the need to transport unstable patients.
Electrocardiography (ECG)
Continuous ECG monitoring detects arrhythmias and ischemic changes, crucial for patients with cardiac conditions.
Laboratory POCT
Rapid tests for blood glucose, lactate, electrolytes, and hemoglobin levels assist in the immediate management of metabolic and hematologic disorders.
Critical Care Treatments
Jeevan Hospital offers a wide range of advanced treatments for critically ill patients, including:
Mechanical Ventilation
For patients experiencing respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation supports or replaces spontaneous breathing, ensuring adequate oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal.
Hemodynamic Monitoring and Support
Continuous monitoring of cardiovascular parameters allows our team to manage blood pressure, cardiac output, and vascular resistance effectively. Interventions may include medications like vasopressors or inotropes to stabilize heart function.
Renal Replacement Therapy (Dialysis)
For patients with acute kidney injury or severe electrolyte imbalances, our ICU provides dialysis treatments to filter waste products and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance.
Nutritional Support
We offer tailored nutritional plans, including enteral (tube feeding) or parenteral (intravenous) nutrition, to meet the metabolic demands of critically ill patients.
Infection Control and Antibiotic Therapy
Our team implements stringent infection control measures and administers appropriate antibiotics to manage and prevent infections, a crucial aspect of critical care.
Sedation and Pain Management
To ensure patient comfort and facilitate necessary medical interventions, we provide individualized sedation and pain management strategies.
