Cardiac ICU with Ventilators
Fully monitored critical care beds with ventilator support for the most serious cases.
Our Cardiac ICU is a dedicated critical-care unit for patients whose heart condition needs continuous, close monitoring — after a major heart attack, cardiac surgery, or when heart failure becomes severe enough to affect breathing. Every bed is equipped with continuous ECG, blood pressure, and oxygen monitoring, and ventilator support is available on-site for patients who need help breathing, so care never has to wait on a transfer. The unit is staffed around the clock by cardiac-trained nursing staff, with a cardiologist reachable at all times for any change in a patient's condition. Patients are also supported with defibrillation equipment, infusion pumps for cardiac medication, and rapid access to the cath lab if an emergency intervention becomes necessary during their stay.
How it works
On admission, the patient is connected to continuous ECG, oxygen, and blood pressure monitoring.
Ventilator support is initiated immediately if breathing assistance is needed.
Cardiac-trained nurses track vitals minute-by-minute, with a cardiologist on call at all times.
As the patient stabilizes, monitoring frequency is gradually reduced before transfer to a regular ward.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical Cardiac ICU stay last?+
It varies widely by condition — some patients are monitored for 24-48 hours after a routine procedure, while a major cardiac event may require several days. Your cardiologist will give you a clearer estimate once the patient stabilizes.
Can family members stay with the patient in the ICU?+
ICU visiting is limited to protect patient recovery and infection control, but the treating team gives family regular updates at scheduled times throughout the day.
Is ventilator support always needed in the Cardiac ICU?+
No — ventilator support is used only when a patient's breathing needs assistance. Many ICU admissions are for close monitoring alone and never require a ventilator.
