Critical Care

The Critical Care Department at Unico Hospital PLC provides specialized, round-the-clock medical care for patients with life-threatening illnesses, severe infections, major injuries, organ failure, and other critical conditions requiring continuous monitoring and advanced medical support.

Critical care involves a highly coordinated team of critical care physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other specialists working together to stabilize patients, support vital organ functions, prevent complications, and provide timely treatment.

What Is Critical Care?

Critical Care Medicine is a specialized field focused on the management of critically ill patients who require close observation, advanced monitoring, and intensive medical intervention. Patients may require critical care because of serious medical conditions, major surgery, trauma, severe infections, or sudden deterioration of their health.

The Critical Care team provides continuous assessment and works closely with other departments to develop an individualized treatment plan for each patient.

The department provides specialized support for patients with conditions such as:

• Severe infections and sepsis

Advanced Monitoring & Life Support

Critically ill patients may require continuous monitoring of vital signs and organ function. Depending on their condition, treatment may involve mechanical ventilation, oxygen therapy, hemodynamic monitoring, medication support, fluid management, nutritional support, and other advanced critical care interventions.

The team continuously evaluates the patient's response to treatment and adjusts care according to changing clinical needs.
