Intensive Care Unit

The Department of Critical Care Medicine primarily admits patients with life‑threatening conditions, bringing together advanced life‑support equipment and a specialized medical team to provide close monitoring and intensive therapy for critically ill patients with multiorgan dysfunction. Indications for admission include severe trauma, high‑risk postoperative monitoring, severe pneumonia, respiratory failure, septic shock, multiple organ dysfunction, severe poisoning, and critical cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions. The department is equipped with ventilators, monitors, bedside CRRT systems, and hemodynamic monitoring devices, and offers comprehensive care including respiratory support, circulatory support, bedside blood purification, sedation and analgesia, and nutritional support.

The department provides rigorous 24-hour monitoring, continuously tracking vital signs and organ function, and promptly managing life‑threatening conditions such as shock and respiratory failure. At the same time, it emphasizes multidisciplinary collaboration, coordinating with all clinical specialties to address the underlying disease. While prioritizing life‑saving interventions, the team also focuses on early rehabilitation to minimize complications associated with prolonged bed rest. Once the patient’s vital signs stabilize and organ function improves, a comprehensive assessment is conducted to facilitate transfer to a general ward for continued care. The Department of Critical Care Medicine serves as a critical care safety net, dedicated to reversing life‑threatening conditions and buying time for treatment of the primary illness.
