CRITICAL CARE
Multi-disciplinary approach for better clinical outcomes
Critical Care Medicine (CCM) is a specialty that involves the management
of patients with life-threatening, frequently complex medical and surgical
illnesses in a specialized Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or similar facility. A
modern ICU represents the pinnacle of any hospital’s approach to highly
technological & sophisticated in-patient care.

Mediheal Group of Hospitals provides critical care services round the
clock with a team of highly qualified, skilled, and experienced intensivists
and nurses. The plan of care for the patient is prepared in consensus
with the admitting specialist, the patient, and the family. Periodic multi-
disciplinary briefings on the patient’s condition are provided to his / her
family. Our Intensive Care is a state-of-the-art unit with 100 Critical Care
beds segregated into different ICUs to provide more focused care as per
the established protocols.

Our Intensive Care Team Practices Evidence-Based Medicine and follows
International protocols and quality indicators like ‘FASTHUG’ to enable good
outcomes and decreased hospital stay. The ICU outcomes are monitored
with tools like ‘APACHE’ scoring and SMR (Standardized Mortality Ratios
) that help the department benchmark outcomes against internationally
reputed ICUs. Infection control protocols to prevent Healthcare-Associated
Infection s (HCAI) like Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP), Catheter-
Related Blood Stream Infection (CRBSI), and Catheter-Associated Urinary
Tract Infection (CAUTI) are followed rigorously.
