Intensive Care Unit

Our Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is located on the 3rd floor of the hospital. The nine-bed unit is dedicated to critical care medicine, with hemodynamic and respiratory support, intensive monitoring. Admissions to ICU occur when you experience a heart attack, unstable angina, difficulty breathing requiring mechanical support, or when you are in need of more careful management of blood pressure. Patients present with a mix of cardiac, medical, and surgical health conditions. 

Patients admitted into the ICU are closely monitored using special equipment in a quiet atmosphere. The length of stay will vary depending on the patient's need for specialized care.

Visiting hours take place from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Visitors are limited to two at one time for a period of 15 minutes. Visitors are asked to ring the buzzer at the entrance of the ICU each time they wish to visit. Visitors may be asked to leave at any time, depending on the individual needs of the patient. Quiet time is observed in the ICU between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. as rest is vital to the recovery of patients in the ICU.

No children under the age of 12 are permitted to visit.

Family members can help by:

• Not bringing flowers or goodies into the ICU for patients
• Checking with the nurse before visiting a patient
• Designating one person as the contact person to phone and inquire about a patient’s condition

Critical Care Response Team
