ICU Setup At Home Service: What is It All About?
There may be instances where a patient ends up needing an intensive care unit’s services for an extended period of time. Particularly for close relatives, this may prove to be financially and emotionally stressful. ICU at-home service is useful for patients who are no longer in the acute stage of their disease but still require critical care. These may also be used by patients whose doctors have recommended home treatment or who are unable to enter a hospital for medical reasons.
With Fastaid’s home ICU setup services, professional nurses, therapists, and experts may provide critical care in the convenience of your own home. To ensure the best possible level of medical care, their clinical procedures are developed with the help of renowned experts and large hospitals.
What Does An ICU Setup At Home Service Include?
Essentially, people who need critical care are those who are recovering after a prolonged stay in the ICU, neurological patients, patients with spinal/brain injuries and/or multiple trauma, post-transplant patients, cancer patients, end-of-life care patients, end-stage respiratory disorder patients, patients on Tracheostomy and/or Ventilator, among others. With Fastaid ICU setup at home service, you can get the following
Critical Care Nurse: The critical care nurse is the most important member of the ICU team at home. She will look after the patient’s daily medical requirements, such as dispensing medications, consulting with the doctor, giving injections, monitoring daily progress, and handling all medical equipment. A critical care nurse with experience can significantly impact a patient’s prognosis.
Medical equipment: Cutting-edge medical equipment is needed for a home ICU setup. Each patient requires a different piece of equipment. Some of the common medical equipment comprises an IV stand, para monitor, oxygen cylinder, suction machine, alpha mattress, nebulizer, DVT pump, and other frequently used medical devices.
Management of Bed Sores: If bedsores are not treated, the patient may get a serious infection that will make recovery more difficult. Thus, appropriate bedsore management is changing into fresh clothes two to three times per day and using an alpha mattress as directed.
Physiotherapy: Physiotherapy aids in increasing the body’s mobility. As part of the ICU setup at home, home ICU setup offers qualified physiotherapists right at your door.
