Technology

Technology supports the ICU and every specialist in Intensive Care, ultimately leading to better outcomes, reduced length of stay and greater cost efficiency. At the Meenakshi Hospital ICU we use advanced technological resources while providing care to the critically ill patients.

The following equipment’s are used for patients admitted in the ICU

Monitors

Advanced monitors are used to monitor heart rate, heart rhythm, ECG, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and respiratory rate.

Ventilators

Equipped with modern mechanical ventilators, for both invasive and noninvasive ventilation, providing life support for patients who cannot breathe adequately.

IV Pump

Used to administer life saving medications like inotropes and other medications which need to be infused continually into the patient.

Patient Bed

Technology has made it possible for the patient’s bed to rotate, reposition and transport patients during their stay. This helps to alleviate and prevent bedsores for patients staying for an extended period of time.

Arterial Blood gas analyzer

The ICU is equipped with Siemens ‘Rapid Lab 1265’ arterial blood gas analyzer which is one of the most advanced ABG analyzer. This helps performing ABG analysis inside the ICU saving time for the patient.

Compression Stockings

The ICU uses compression stockings to prevent occurrence of Deep Vein Thrombosis in patients who are high risk and for long stay patients.

Computers

The ICU staff use computers for accessing hospital information systems to record patient care, order medications, procedures and investigations, viewing investigation reports and patient’s electronic medical records.
