Department overview

Advanced Critical Care is designed for patients who require continuous monitoring, urgent medical intervention and specialised support because of severe illness, injury or complications following surgery. At Nirmal Hospital, Surat, critical care services support the management of medically and surgically complex patients through coordinated care, monitoring and appropriate life-support measures. Intensive care may be required for patients experiencing severe infections, sepsis, respiratory failure, cardiovascular instability, multiple-organ dysfunction, serious trauma or complications after major surgery. Care plans are guided by the patient's condition and may involve respiratory support, haemodynamic monitoring, emergency stabilisation and ongoing assessment of vital organ function. The hospital's critical care services also include specialised care for newborns and children through neonatal intensive care (NICU) and paediatric intensive care (PICU). These units support infants, newborns and children who need closer observation and treatment than can be provided in a routine ward setting. Critical care involves collaboration among intensivists, nursing teams and relevant medical and surgical specialists. Treatment is individualised according to clinical needs, with attention to patient safety, infection prevention, timely reassessment and communication with families. The level of monitoring, respiratory support and other interventions depends on the patient's condition. The treating team determines the most appropriate care pathway and provides updates to family members in accordance with hospital procedures and the patient's circumstances.

Critical care medicine focuses on the assessment, stabilisation and treatment of patients whose vital organ functions are threatened by serious illness, injury or major complications. Patients in intensive care may need continuous monitoring of their breathing, circulation, neurological status, fluid balance and other important clinical parameters. Adult intensive care supports critically ill medical and surgical patients. Depending on their needs, patients may require oxygen therapy, non-invasive or invasive ventilation, circulatory support, treatment for severe infections and repeated clinical reassessment. Early recognition of deterioration and timely intervention are important aspects of critical care. The neonatal intensive care unit provides specialised support for newborns who need additional medical attention, including premature babies, low-birth-weight infants and newborns with breathing difficulties or other complications. Neonatal care may involve temperature regulation, respiratory support, feeding and nutritional support, monitoring and management of complications related to prematurity or illness. The paediatric intensive care unit supports infants and children with serious medical conditions, respiratory compromise, severe infections, trauma or other conditions requiring intensive monitoring and specialised treatment. Care is adapted to the child's age, weight, diagnosis and clinical needs. Across adult, neonatal and paediatric intensive care, treatment decisions are made according to clinical assessment and the patient's response to treatment. Families may receive information about the care plan, progress and expected next steps from the treating team.
