The day of a critically ill patient is punctuated by the passage
of different members of the healthcare team. Doctors examine patients every morning and update the
medical record. If the evolution of the patient’s condition requires, this review will be
repeated, several times a day.Besides this review, the nurse and caregivers will give the
prescribed care (drips, bandages, blood collection, etc.).
The patient is regularly mobilised
in order to receive specific anti pressure-ulcer massages. Body hygiene is also taken care of
several times a day. Patients that are awake can be seated in a chair or in their bed by a
physiotherapist, in order to stimulate their muscles.Whether the patient is conscious or not,
the physiotherapists works with every patient, to keep their joints and muscular mass flexible.
Intensive care is the medical speciality that supports patients whose lives are in immediate danger – like when a vital organ such as the heart, liver, lungs, kidneys or the nervous system is affected, for instance:
- Cardio-vascular incidents (heart attacks or strokes)
- Severe Infections
- Acute Respiratory Infections
- Neurological problems
- Post-Operative Care
- Complications
