Alkari Devi Hospital is one of the best critical care hospitals in Dhanbad (Jharkhand) India. Critical care or Intensive care is a crucial medical specialty caring for patients who are critically ill. They may require support for instability, airway or respiratory compromise (ventilator support), acute renal failure, cardiac arrhythmias, or the cumulative effects of multiple organ failure, more commonly referred to now as multiple organ dysfunction syndromes. Patients needing intensive/invasive monitoring, such as in the crucial hours after major surgery or patients who are considered too unstable to transfer to a less intensively monitored unit may also be placed in the intensive care units.
The department of critical care medicine at Alkari Devi Hospital is a combination of many specialties and technologies, offering the possibility of survival to patients who are acutely and critically ill. ICU management at Alkari Devi Hospital is based on the fact that the methodical organization of Critical Care services influences important overall outcome measures such as mortality, length of stay, and infection rates.
