Specialized Nursing Unit
The Critical Care Unit (CCU)
is a specialized nursing unit for patients who require close
observation, frequent assessments and clinical monitoring. It is a
16-bed unit that serves Medical/Surgical patients with life
threatening or critical illnesses and/or conflicts.
Services available in this
unit include continuous cardiac monitoring, dysrhythmia detection
and interventions, respiratory support with mechanical ventilation,
hemodynamic monitoring, dialysis and computerized monitoring
technology.
Our highly skilled staff are
certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Basic Life Support.
Due to the demand of care for CCU patients, we dedicate one nurse
to every two patients.
