About ICU

Advanced Critical Care for Seriously Ill and Post-Surgical Patients

The Intensive Care Unit at Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and Research provides specialized care for critically ill adults and patients who require close monitoring after surgery or serious illness.

Our ICU is supported by experienced intensivists, trained nurses, advanced monitoring systems, respiratory support, bedside diagnostics, and coordinated specialist care. The focus is on timely intervention, continuous monitoring, patient safety, infection prevention, and compassionate communication with families.

We care for patients who need intensive observation, organ support, post-surgical monitoring, respiratory support, and multidisciplinary medical management in a safe and supportive environment.

Patients We Care For

Our ICU provides care for adults who may require close monitoring or advanced medical support due to:

  • Critical illness
  • Post-surgical recovery
  • Respiratory distress or low oxygen levels
  • Severe infection or sepsis
  • Complex medical conditions
  • Neurological emergencies
  • Cardiac or pulmonary complications
  • Patients needing mechanical ventilation
  • Patients needing high-flow oxygen support
  • Elderly patients requiring intensive monitoring
  • Patients needing multidisciplinary specialist care
  • Patients who need step-down monitoring in HDU beds
  • ICU Facilities and Services
  • Advanced Respiratory Support

Our ICU provides respiratory support for patients who are unable to maintain adequate breathing or oxygen levels on their own.

Respiratory support may include:

  • Oxygen therapy
  • High-flow nasal cannula
  • Non-invasive ventilation
  • Invasive mechanical ventilation
  • Close monitoring of oxygen saturation and breathing pattern

The type of support is decided based on the patient’s condition and clinical assessment.

Continuous Monitoring

Critically ill patients need close and continuous observation.

Our ICU team monitors important health parameters such as:

  • Heart rate
  • Blood pressure
  • Respiratory rate
  • Oxygen saturation
  • Fluid status
  • Response to medication
  • Clinical progress

This helps the team identify changes early and respond promptly.

Central Line and Critical Care Procedures

Some critically ill patients may need advanced procedures to support treatment, monitoring, or medication delivery.

ICU procedures may include:

  • Central line insertion
  • Advanced intravenous access
  • Respiratory support procedures
  • Bedside monitoring and assessment
  • Supportive procedures required for critical care management

All procedures are carried out with appropriate safety, hygiene, and clinical protocols.

Superspecialist Support

Our ICU is supported by multiple specialists whenever required.

This may include coordination with:

  • Pulmonologists
  • Cardiologists
  • Nephrologists
  • Neurologists
  • Surgeons
  • Anesthesiologists
  • Internists
  • Geriatricians
  • Nutritionists
  • Physiotherapists

This multidisciplinary approach helps ensure that every patient receives care suited to their overall medical condition.

High Dependency Unit Beds

For patients who need close monitoring but may not require full ICU-level critical care, High Dependency Unit beds may be available.

HDU care can support patients who need:

  • Step-down monitoring after ICU
  • Post-surgical observation
  • Close medical supervision
  • Monitoring of oxygen requirement
  • Recovery support before transfer to ward or discharge
  • Post-Surgical Critical Care

Some patients require ICU or HDU support after major or complex surgery.

Our ICU works closely with surgical specialists and anesthesiologists to support:

  • Post-operative monitoring
  • Pain and comfort management
  • Respiratory support
  • Infection prevention
  • Fluid and medication management
  • Early detection of complications
  • Safe transition to ward care
  • Bedside Imaging and Diagnostics

Timely diagnostics are important in critical care.

Our ICU has access to diagnostic support such as:

  • Bedside echocardiography
  • Urgent interpretation of results
  • Laboratory support
  • Imaging support, where required
  • Clinical monitoring to guide treatment decisions

These services help the care team make faster and more informed decisions.

Nutritional Support

Nutrition plays an important role in recovery for critically ill patients.

Our ICU team provides nutritional support based on the patient’s condition, which may include:

  • Individualized feeding plans
  • Enteral nutrition where appropriate
  • Parenteral nutrition where required
  • Monitoring of nutritional status
  • Coordination with dietitians and treating doctors
  • Elderly-Friendly and Family-Centered ICU Care

Older adults admitted to the ICU often need care that considers frailty, multiple illnesses, medicines, infection risk, mobility, and recovery challenges.

Our ICU approach includes:

  • Elderly-sensitive care planning
  • Comfort-focused support
  • Infection prevention
  • Family communication
  • Shared decision-making
  • Coordination with geriatric care, where required
  • Planning for recovery, discharge, and follow-up

Families are kept informed through appropriate communication and counselling as part of the care process.

When Might ICU Care Be Needed?

A patient may need ICU care if they have a serious or unstable medical condition requiring close monitoring or life-support measures.

ICU care may be required in situations such as:

  • Severe breathing difficulty
  • Need for ventilator support
  • Low oxygen levels
  • Serious infection or sepsis
  • Unstable blood pressure
  • Complications after surgery
  • Sudden deterioration in health
