PROCEDURES

In some situations, an emergency tracheostomy is done for a patient who may require breathing support for a few days. A tube is connected directly from the ventilator to the patient's windpipe during this surgery.

Most of the severely sick patients may require some assistance with their breathing, which is delivered by a ventilator which breaths oxygen into the patient's lungs in the same way as it would occur normally.

Patients with low blood pressure are supported by employing fluid replacement and blood pressure-raising medications. Patients with renal problems are treated using specialised equipment. That gadget functions similarly to the kidney, filtering waste items from the blood. Our Department provides excellent kidney care that is mostly dependent on the type of filtration used, which is known as haemodiafiltration.

When it comes to cardiovascular concerns, certain drugs are prescribed by our intensive care specialists to support heart function. Here are a few procedures done in our department:

Invasive monitoring

This is a very common technique that involves the measurement of arterial pressure by inserting a cannula needle into the artery.

Ventilation techniques

Physicians may use different ventilation techniques depending on the patient's condition.

Percutaneous Tracheostomy

It is a commonly performed procedure for seriously ill patients in which a tracheostomy tube is placed without direct surgical visualization.

Intraaortic Balloon Pump

It is a type of therapeutic device that helps your heart to pump more blood. This maybe needed if the patient is unable to pump enough blood.

Transesophageal Echocardiography

Transesophageal echocardiogram is a procedure done by inserting a probe down esophagus.
