Intensive Care (Adult)

Intensive Care Unit

In our intensive care unit, adult patients are treated by our physicians.

When one or more of the human body's organs fail temporarily or permanently, the intensive care unit is responsible for supporting the body’s impaired functions until the underlying disease is treated. This treatment often involves the use of supportive and therapeutic devices such as mechanical ventilators. Intensive care requires a high level of expertise in the field of anesthesiology and resuscitation.

Our unit has 23 beds, each equipped with ventilators, patient monitoring systems, infusion pumps, and other necessary tools.

Patients requiring treatment in the Intensive Care Unit include:

• Cardiopulmonary arrests (sudden heart and respiratory failure)
• Brain, spinal cord, and widespread body traumas
• Patients in all types of shock (septic, hypovolemic, hemorrhagic)
• Acute respiratory failure (lung trauma, pulmonary edema, pneumonia, ARDS, ALI)
• Chronic respiratory failures
• Severe metabolic and acid-base imbalances
• Neurological diseases (brain hemorrhages and sudden vascular occlusions, status epilepticus)
• Diseases causing muscle weakness (Myasthenia Gravis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, etc.)
• Respiratory failure due to systemic diseases (heart, kidney, liver failure, etc.)
• Intoxications (all types of poisonings)
• Post-surgical recovery following major, long, or complex surgeries
• Pregnancy-related complications (eclampsia)
• Tetanus
• Near-drowning incidents

Bedside parameters that can be measured without invasive procedures:

• EKG
• Systemic blood pressure
• Pulse oximetry (oxygen saturation in the blood)
• Body temperature
• Expiratory carbon dioxide pressure

Procedures that can be performed at the bedside include:

• Ultrasonography
• Hemodialysis
• Doppler
• Echocardiography
• Gastroscopy, colonoscopy
• External pacemaker
• All types of X-rays
• Electroencephalography (EEG)
• Blood gas measurement
• Central venous pressure measurement
• Continuous blood pressure monitoring (intra-arterial)
• Intracranial pressure measurement
• Hemodynamic parameters
• Cardiac output
• Pulmonary artery pressure
• Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure
• Pulmonary vascular resistance
• Invasive respiratory support with mechanical ventilators
• Non-invasive respiratory support devices (BIPAP, CPAP)
• Mobile ventilator-supported brain and body CT scans, as well as other radiological and neurological imaging methods
• Respiratory physiotherapy
• Hypothermia therapy
• Nephrostomy
• Bronchoscopy
• Temporary pacemaker placement
• PEG insertion (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy)
• Thoracostomy (chest tube insertion)
• Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP)
• ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation)
• Physiotherapy
