Delivering Advanced Critical Care Services Round the Clock

Critical Care: A Necessity for Life-saving Interventions
Critical Care, also known as intensive care, is specialized medical care designed for patients battling life-threatening illnesses or injuries. EMC Hospital’s state-of-the-art Critical Care Unit (CCU) provides 24×7 monitoring and advanced treatment, ensuring immediate attention and continuous support for the most critical patients.

Conditions Treated in Our Critical Care Unit
EMC Hospital’s CCU handles a wide range of life-threatening conditions with cutting-edge technology and an expert team:

1. Respiratory Failure
   Patients suffering from COPD, severe asthma, or pneumonia are supported with ventilators to restore and maintain respiratory function.
2. Cardiac Arrest and Heart Failure
   Emergency care for heart attacks, arrhythmias, and cardiac arrests with advanced ventilators and defibrillators ensures the best chance of recovery.
3. Sepsis and Septic Shock
   Prompt interventions, including antibiotics and fluid resuscitation, counter life-threatening infections.
4. Stroke and Brain Injury
   From brain strokes to traumatic brain injuries, patients receive neuro-monitoring and intensive therapies to safeguard brain health.
5. Multi-organ Failure
   Comprehensive care is provided for critical conditions affecting multiple organs, such as the kidneys, liver, and lungs, with life-support systems.
6. Trauma and Severe Injuries
   Victims of road accidents, severe burns, or critical injuries receive immediate surgical and intensive care to stabilize their condition.
7. Poisoning and Overdose
   Life-saving treatments for poisoning from chemicals, pesticides, and drug overdose, combined with ventilator support, ensure optimal outcomes.
8. Acute Kidney Failure
   Continuous bedside dialysis is offered for patients with compromised renal function.
9. Chronic Critical Illness
   Long-term critically ill patients are managed with advanced ventilators and extended life-support systems.
10. COVID-19 and Severe Respiratory Infections
