ICU Patient Care

Coverages

1.     Medical Supervision and Monitoring:

ICU patients with a Ryles tube and catheter require continuous medical supervision. Our skilled healthcare team includes nurses and physicians who monitor the patient's vital signs, fluid intake and output, and overall health status closely. This ensures timely intervention and adjustment of treatments as necessary.

2.     Ryles Tube Management:

The placement and management of a Ryles tube are critical for administering nutrition, medications, or decompressing the stomach. Our staff is trained in the correct insertion, maintenance, and monitoring of Ryles tubes to prevent complications such as aspiration or dislodgement.

3.     Catheter Care:

Proper care of urinary catheters is essential to prevent infections and maintain urinary function. Our team follows strict hygiene protocols for catheter insertion, securement, and regular monitoring of urine output and catheter patency. We ensure that catheters are positioned correctly and managed hygienically to minimize the risk of complications.

4.     Pain Management and Comfort:

ICU patients often experience discomfort or pain related to their medical condition or procedures. We prioritize effective pain management through medication, positioning techniques, and comfort measures to enhance patient comfort and promote healing.

5.     Nutritional Support:

Patients with a Ryles tube receive specialized nutritional support tailored to their medical needs. Our dietitians collaborate with healthcare providers to develop feeding plans that meet the patient's nutritional requirements while considering any dietary restrictions or medical conditions.

6.     Skin Integrity and Hygiene:

ICU patients are at risk of skin breakdown due to prolonged immobility and medical devices such as catheters. Our caregivers implement meticulous skin care routines, including regular turning, skin assessments, and moisture management, to maintain skin integrity and prevent pressure ulcers.

7.     Respiratory and Pulmonary Care:

Patients with a Ryles tube may require respiratory monitoring and support to prevent complications such as aspiration pneumonia. Our respiratory therapists and nurses monitor respiratory status closely, administer oxygen therapy as needed, and implement suctioning techniques to maintain airway patency.

8.     Family Involvement and Communication:

We understand the importance of family involvement in the care of ICU patients. We facilitate open communication, provide regular updates on the patient's condition and treatment plan, and encourage family visits and participation in care decisions to support patient well-being and family peace of mind.

9.     Rehabilitation and Recovery Support:

For ICU patients recovering from critical illness, we collaborate with physical therapists and occupational therapists to initiate early mobilization, rehabilitation exercises, and activities aimed at restoring functional abilities and promoting recovery.

10.  Psychosocial Support:

Coping with intensive medical care can be emotionally challenging for patients and their families. Our team provides emotional support, counselling services, and access to resources to help patients and families navigate the emotional aspects of ICU stay and recovery.

11.  Wound dressing:

Our Senior nurses medical will have a checkup of the dressing and the same is to be done by them on routine basis as consulted by doctor.
