Equipment : -
All the ICU's at Fortis Hospital Mohali are equipped with the most modern and highly specialized equipment. Some of this equipment, which forms an integral part of the patient care, and sets Fortis Hospital Mohali a class apart, are:
Ventilators :- The newer generation critical and life saving machines are patient and user-friendly with alarms and set up buttons simplified. We, at Fortis Healthcare, have opted for the Seimens 300A which is the latest ventilator on the market. It not only is able to sense whether the patient is breathing spontaneously but also allows him to do so if this is adequate. The same ventilator can be used for adults, paediatrics and neo-natals. This dramatically cuts down the time needed on the ventilator and along with better patient management cuts down costs tremendously.
Monitors : - We have opted for the Agilent wide screen touch monitors, which are able to provide at least 3 pressure traces along with other parameters such as heart rate, respiration, temperature etc. This is also Network into a central nursing workstation so that all the parameters of patients are seen on one screen making access easier. All these monitors are Network through a central server and interfaced with HIS. The doctors can view these parameters sitting in their chambers.
ICU Beds (HILROM) : - Some of the special features about these beds are that, they are electrically operated through remote switches. Can be tilted up and down or sideways. Provides ease in the movement of the patient from Cardiac OT to SICU and vice versa. Provision has been made for keeping monitors, oxygen cylinders, infusion pumps and syringe pumps, without affecting the patient comfort.
Mattress (Ripple mattress) : - Helps in reducing the incidences of bed-sores to the patients when he may be lying down in the same position for days altogether. It operates through an air pump, which deflates and inflates the bubbles in the mattress providing comfort to the patient and reducing the stress due to weight of the body.
SICU Pendants : - These imported pendants from Drager (Germany) are installed next to the patient bed, which can rotate upto 270 deg, providing medical supplies e.g. oxygen, compressed air, vacuum, electrical outlets (UPS & non UPS). This can house monitors, infusion pumps, syringe pumps, BIBAP (type of ventilator) etc. This provides effective space utilization and ease of operation.
Bed Head Panel : - Bed head panels have been installed in CCU, MICU. They are used for supplying services like oxygen, compressed air, vacuum, electrical outlets (UPS & non-UPS), nurse call system, data and voice outlets in patient rooms.
Intra Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) : - This critical and life saving equipment is used to increase the blood pressure of the patient whenever it falls down below certain desired limits. Apart from SICU, CCU & MICU, this equipment is also used in OTs, Cath lab and ER.
Infusion / Syringe Pumps : - Used for delivering accurate dosage of medicine to critical patients at a particular rate.
Critical Care Stat Lab : - Houses the facilities for immediate testing of blood gases, electrolytes for critical patients and is located within the ICU.
