When the air passage to the lungs is blocked or reduced, a Tracheostomy is used. A surgical opening is created through the neck into the trachea, opening the airway and helping with breathing. This opening is called a stoma, and the procedure is technically referred to as a Tracheotomy. However, both of these terms are usually used interchangeably.…
As one of the top ICU hospitals in Bhubaneswar, our approach focuses on stabilising the patient, setting clear ventilation and fluid targets, and providing pain and anxiety management tailored to clinical needs.

Emergency or critical care patients are connected to a cardiac monitor and will be receiving IV drips, with their vital signs being continuously monitored by skilled nurses. Simultaneously, a group of doctors overseeing the patient’s care performs appropriate treatments at scheduled intervals. The ICU ensures the patient remains stable until an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan are made. Patients in the ICU are monitored 24 hours by a comprehensive team of healthcare professionals.
Any illness that endangers life necessitates critical treatment. Critical sickness can be caused by a variety of factors, including poisoning, surgical complications, or early birth. Critical illnesses include:
Heart-related conditions, such as myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, and congestive heart failure
Pulmonary-related conditions, such as respiratory failure, pneumonia, and pulmonary embolus
Kidney failure
Severe gastrointestinal bleeding or other complicated illness affecting the mouth and oesophagus
Severe brain and spinal cord conditions, such as brain trauma, encephalopathy, strong epileptic episodes, and spinal cord injury
Hospital-acquired infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, drug-resistant infections, and multiple organ failures
Catastrophic injuries, such as car accidents, gunshot wounds, falls, burns, and instances of sexual abuse.
Critical care is the long-term treatment of individuals whose illnesses are life-threatening. Emergency medicine involves the short-term care of those patients as well as the treatment of patients with minor injuries (such as a sprained ankle or broken arm). In the emergency department, doctors and nurses stabilise patients before transporting them to the intensive care unit (ICU) or another portion of the hospital for additional care.
Some risks or complications that can arise for a patient admitted to the ICU include:
Healthcare-associated infections, including ventilator-associated pneumonia, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, and central line-associated bloodstream infections
Venous thromboembolism, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism
Surgical Site infection
Post-intensive care syndromes (PICS), include ICU-acquired weakness, cognitive or brain dysfunction, and other mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) of their illness, nightmares, and intense emotions.
Medical equipment used in an ICU includes a Cardiac Monitor, Ventilator, IV Catheter, Urine Catheter, Pleur-evac, Nasogastric Tube (NG tube), ECG electrodes, Nasogastric Suction, Pulse Oximeter, Crash Cart, Anaesthesia Machine, an EKG machine, and others. These devices help in monitoring and providing critical care to patients in intensive care settings.
A ventilator, often known as a respirator, may be used to assist people who have disorders or illnesses that make breathing difficult. It is a machine that helps you breathe by forcing oxygen into your lungs and removing carbon dioxide from your body. The process generally involves a tube being inserted into the patient’s mouth and a windpipe, which is connected to a machine that delivers air into the lungs. Patients are unable to speak while the breathing tube remains in place. The duration of ventilation required by a patient varies depending on the underlying cause, ranging from hours to days, weeks, or, in rare cases, months or years.
A mechanical ventilator forces air into the patient's lungs, allowing them to breathe more easily. In the hospital's intensive care unit, invasive ventilation is accomplished via a tube put into the patient's airway. People with respiratory problems can benefit from non-invasive ventilation at home.
The most prevalent modes of mechanical ventilators are:
Volume-limited assistive control ventilation (VAC)
Pressure-limited assistive control ventilation (PAC)
Synchronised intermittent obligatory ventilation with pressure support ventilation.
