Chandigarh, Dec.29,
2021:- It is important to provide critical care to the patients at the
well equipped emergency and trauma centre as it can provide recoverable
conditions, more detailed observation and invasive treatment, the doctors of
Grecian Super Speciality Hospital said, adding that if critical care is
delayed, patient’s life is clearly at risk and the chances of full recovery get
jeopardised.
The doctors emphasised on the
importance of ‘critical care and emergency care’ at the hospital for saving the
lives of the critically ill patients, during a press conference at Grecian
Hospital mohali.
Also present on the occasion, Dr
Rohini Malhotra, head of the Emergency Department at Grecian Super Speciality
Hospital, Mohali, said that our Emergency department has a triage area to sort
the patients rushing in the emergency. Our team follows the ‘Zero Time Policy’
for triaging. Besides, we have a resuscitation area which is dedicated to the
immediate care of patients and victims of cardiac arrest, airway breathing and
circulatory compromise. Also, the hospital provides best trauma or medical care
with qualified staff looking after the patients.
She added that the hospital is well
equipped with emergency services and has a minor operation theatre to provide
first hand treatment to the patient. The hospital also has a 24 hour pharmacy
for the patients in need, besides the clinical, diagnostic and imaging labs.
All these 24 hour facilities help in providing best critical care to the
patients.
Dr Rohini Malhotra added that data
from the Indian Medical Association shows the country needs more than 50,000
critical care specialists, but has just 8350. Also, in India 5 million patients
require ICU care but only 70,000 ICU beds are available. However, hospitals
must ensure that ICUs are used effectively so that best patient care and
emergency care can be given to people. At Grecian hospital, emergency
department is placed in an easily accessible area, where people can have access
to emergency vehicles.
Dr Maninderiit Bhathal, Senior
Consultant and Head of Critical Care, Grecian Hospital, said that Grecian Super
Speciality Hospital has a 100-bedded ICU unit and a highly experienced team of
physicians, nurses, respiratory care technicians, pharmacists and other allied
health professionals who use their unique expertise, ability to interpret
important therapeutic information to provide care that leads to the best
outcome for the patient.
Dr Rohini Malhotra added that it is
important for the hospitals to ensure management of critically ill patients
across respiratory, cardiovascular, neurology, renal, haematological,
gastro-intestinal and several other medical verticals.
