Patients receive closer monitoring and treatment based on their medical needs. Care may include vital-sign monitoring, medications, respiratory support, diagnostic testing, and other treatments ordered by the healthcare team.
Depending on the patient’s condition, respiratory support may be required. Mechanical ventilation is one type of support used when a patient has significant difficulty breathing or obtaining enough oxygen.
Visitation may depend on the patient’s condition, current hospital policies, infection-control requirements, and other clinical considerations. Please contact Nazarenus Hospital for the current ICU visitation guidelines.
The length of stay varies according to the patient’s condition, treatment needs, and response to care. The healthcare team determines when it is appropriate for the patient to transfer to another hospital unit.
Once intensive monitoring is no longer required, the healthcare team may arrange transfer to the appropriate hospital unit for continued treatment and recovery.
