FAQ's

Patients with life-threatening conditions are closely monitored by a team of critical care medical professionals. They can be connected to different machines, such as artificial ventilators and heart monitors. Sometimes, these machines may beep or make loud alarms. This helps the medical team know if there is any change in the condition. Several tubes are also connected to provide nutrients and fluids and remove waste products from the body.

Treatment decisions are often made in collaboration with critical care teams and family members. In most cases, patients under critical care may not be able to speak for themselves. Close family members are often consulted, as they represent the values and wishes of the patient. Important decisions and the reasons behind them are thoroughly discussed with family members. Risks and benefits are also weighed and explained to help you make informed choices.

Since the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is reserved for critically ill patients, family members are not allowed to stay beside them at all times. However, visitations can be arranged by discussing them with our critical care team and specialists. If you wish to stay with your loved ones at the intensive care unit, our administrative team will assist you in making appropriate arrangements.

Ventilators are machines that help you breathe and keep your lungs working. It is a life-saving machine for patients who are unable to breathe properly. Ventilators are of several types and are given based on the patient's condition.

The duration of your stay at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) depends on the severity of your loved one’s condition. Some people leave the intensive care unit after a few days, while others may require weeks or months. Most people, however, make a good recovery after leaving the intensive care unit. Our specialists will inform you regarding the expected duration of your loved one’s stay.
