<\/p>\n

Patients need to be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)<\/strong> when their health is critical and require constant and sustained follow-up for fear of deterioration, and in case of a patient that could develop more complex side complications and his life will be at risk.<\/span><\/p>\n

When patients are admitted to an intensive care unit, it is normal for their family to be afraid of their potentially critical condition and need to feel assured about their patient’s health.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we put ourselves in the place of the patient and his family, we begin to think about all the details not only medically but also humanly.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Intensive Care Unit at Al Kindi Hospital is one of the most sensitive and important departments as it provides high-quality life-saving medical services for critical patients and is dedicated to cases requiring constant monitoring and intensive treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) receives patients after various surgeries such as catheterization operations and complex serious injuries such as fainting, strokes as well as internal medicine conditions and pediatric patients.<\/span><\/p>\n

Critical cases are assisted at the Hospital by the Department of Operations and Emergency, and admitted to the Intensive Care Unit to provide integrated clinical treatment under the supervision of the most qualified doctors and nursing staff, as the department is equipped with the latest technologies and advanced devices within the highest specifications and special standards by following the conditions of safety and prevention for patients.<\/span><\/p>\n

Doctors and nursing staff follow the patient daily and develop a treatment plan so that the patient is in better health which allows him or her to move from the intensive care unit to his or her own room.<\/span>
