ICU, Neonatal ICU Services
High Dependency Unit (HDU) at CPH is a Two Bedded Unit. The Neontal Intensive Care Unit has six beds/cots. We are a multidisciplinary team consisting of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and a physiotherapist. The Intensive care unit is consultant led with resident oncall medical cover.
We have the ability to support the patient through state of the art life sustaining equipment including artificial ventilation, and cardiovascular support. We also have the ability to intensely monitor patients who are at risk and provide intense post-operative care to surgical patients who have multiple co-morbidities or have undergone prolonged and/or extensive surgery. We offer an intense level of nursing care depending on the patient’s condition ranging from one to one or one to two care for the patient is in the high dependency unit. Patients are reviewed daily more that once by the responsible consultant through multi-disciplinary ward rounds.
Plans are discussed and documented electronically.
