Critical Care Units (Intensive Care)

This unit of specialized services treats acute coronary and cardiovascular events. It has an adequate infrastructure to handle patients in a critically ill state. It attends patients with acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina, hypertension, arrhythmia, cardiac insufficiency, pulmonary edema, syncope, aortic dissections and a great number of cardiovascular conditions among other cases.

It is a highly specialized service in two areas of attention: intensive and coronary. It consists of eight individual units, equipped with the latest technology, strategically placed in such a way that the rooms can be observed from the nurses´ station. The nurses have a 360 degree view of all the rooms at the same time. Each individual cubicle has the appropriate dimensions so that the medical and nursing staff can work around the patient, circling without difficulty in case of emergency.

There are mechanical ventilators of the latest technology and an individual telemetric monitoring system with a central screen to monitor all patients from the nursing station.

The individual beds of each patient are equipped with comfort and therapeutic devices to allow a full sitting position and a daily control of the patient´s weight.

Moreover, there are two isolation cubicles with isolating doors and airflow and filtering systems which flow to the outside, avoiding the contamination of other units in the intensive and coronary care unit.
