ICCU (Intensive Coronary Care Unit)

ICCU (Intensive Coronary Care Unit)

Gist

ICCU (Intensive Coronary Care Unit) is a unit which focused on intensive treatment for heart issues such as coronary heart disease, heart attack, cardiac arrest/heart failure, etc.

The full form of ICCU is Intensive Coronary Care Unit. It is a specialized unit within a hospital that provides intensive, monitored care for patients with acute cardiac conditions. The ICCU is equipped with advanced monitoring equipment and trained staff to manage critical cardiac issues.

Summary

Intensive Coronary Care Unit (ICCU) is an intensive care unit for heart disease, especially coronary heart disease, heart attacks, severe heart rhythm disorders, and heart failure. This room is dedicated to patients who need intensive care and are kept sterile. The difference with the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is that if the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is an intensive service for general ill patients, the Intensive Coronary Care Unit (ICCU) is specifically for patients with heart and blood vessel disease. ICCU is part of the Primaya Hospital Cardiovascular and Cardiac and Vascular Center.

Intensive Coronary Care Unit (ICCU) services

As it is only intended for patients with cardiovascular disease, the Intensive Coronary Care Unit (ICCU) has special medical equipment and personnel. This room is prioritized for patients with complications of cardiovascular disease. Patients are usually in an unstable condition and need immediate treatment and full attention from a highly trained medical team and nurses.

Details

Intensive coronary care refers to the specialised treatment given to patients who are acutely unwell and require critical medical care.

An intensive coronary care unit (ICCU) provides the critical care and life support for acutely ill and injured patients.

Unless you are an emergency admission, you will need a referral from your doctor or specialist to be admitted to ICCU.

Patients may have a planned admission following surgery, an unexpected admission after an accident or be admitted because of a sudden and critical deterioration to their health.

ICCU teams are multi-disciplinary, made up of highly skilled intensive care nurses, doctors and specialists trained in providing critical care for patients with a variety of medical, surgical and trauma conditions.

Our hospital ICCU specialise in providing care for particular health conditions or injuries including:

* major trauma
* severe burns
* respiratory failure
* organ transplants
* complex spinal surgery
* cardiothoracic surgery.

As intensive coronary care patients are very vulnerable to infections, it is important that visitors wash their hands before entering ICCU to prevent transferring infection.

* Patients are monitored 24 hours a day.
* Doctors, nurses and specialists are highly trained in delivering critical care.
