The Department of Critical Care at Sri Balaji Action Medical Institute (SBAMI) stands as an Institute of excellence in providing advanced and specialized care for critically ill patients. With state-of-the-art facilities, a highly skilled team of healthcare professionals, and a patient-centric approach, the institute is dedicated to ensuring optimal outcomes for those facing life-threatening medical conditions.

The heart of the Institute of Critical Care lies in its dedicated and experienced team of healthcare providers. This includes critical care physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and other specialists who work collaboratively to deliver comprehensive care.

The hospital is equipped with cutting-edge monitoring systems and medical technology. This includes advanced ventilators, cardiac monitors, hemodynamic monitoring, and bedside diagnostic tools to closely monitor and manage critical patients. 

Below are some of the features of the Institute:

  • Emergency Department (ED): The ED at SBAMI is a pivotal point of entry for critically ill patients. Staffed 24/7 with skilled emergency physicians and nurses, it ensures immediate assessment and stabilization of patients in urgent need of critical care.
  • Intensive Care Units (ICUs): The institute houses specialized ICUs tailored to meet the unique needs of various critical conditions. This includes Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU), Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU), Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU), Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).
  • Postoperative Critical Care: The Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) and Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) are equipped to provide intensive care to patients recovering from major surgeries, ensuring a smooth transition to stable postoperative conditions.
  • Cardiac Critical Care: The Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) is dedicated to managing patients with acute cardiac conditions, including post-cardiac surgery recovery, myocardial infarction, and heart failure exacerbations.
  • Neonatal and Pediatric Critical Care: The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) are equipped to care for critically ill newborns, infants, and children, with specialized equipment and a team of pediatric critical care specialists.
  • Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT): The institute offers advanced renal support services, including hemodialysis and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), for patients with acute or chronic kidney dysfunction.

Advanced Life Support and Interventions

  • Rapid Assessment and Triage: In critical care, every second counts. Rapid assessment involves a systematic evaluation of the patient's condition to identify and prioritize interventions. This includes evaluating airway patency, breathing adequacy, circulation status, and neurological responsiveness (the ABCDE approach). Triage helps determine the urgency of interventions, ensuring that the most critical patients receive immediate attention.
  • Ventilator Support: SBAMI employs advanced mechanical ventilation techniques, including modes like pressure support, synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV), and high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV), to support patients with respiratory failure.
  • Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS): The institute is well-equipped to manage cardiac emergencies, offering a range of interventions, including cardiac defibrillation, advanced monitoring, and administration of life-saving medications.
  • Invasive Procedures: The critical care team at SBAMI is skilled in performing various invasive procedures, including central venous catheterization, arterial line placement, and thoracentesis, ensuring timely and precise interventions for critically ill patients.
  • Advanced Neurological Monitoring: For patients with critical neurological conditions, the institute offers advanced monitoring techniques, including intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring and continuous EEG monitoring.

FAQ

Critical Care refers to specialized medical care provided to individuals with severe, life-threatening illnesses or injuries. It is delivered in an intensive care unit (ICU) or critical care unit (CCU) and involves close monitoring, advanced medical interventions, and specialized equipment.

Critical Care is typically required for patients facing serious medical emergencies or conditions, such as severe respiratory distress, heart failure, septic shock, traumatic injuries, post-operative complications, and other critical illnesses that necessitate intensive medical attention.

Critical Care Units are equipped to provide a range of specialized services including advanced monitoring of vital signs, mechanical ventilation, hemodynamic support, continuous medication infusions, renal replacement therapy (dialysis), and management of complex medical conditions.

The Critical Care Team is composed of a multidisciplinary group of healthcare professionals. This includes intensivists (specialized critical care physicians), critical care nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, physical therapists, dietitians, and other specialists who work collaboratively to provide comprehensive care.

The length of stay in a Critical Care Unit varies widely based on the nature and severity of the condition. Some patients may require only a brief period of critical care, while others with more complex or severe conditions may stay for an extended duration. Once stabilized, patients may be transferred to other hospital units or discharged.
