1. Critical Care
Critical care, also known as intensive care, is specialized medical care for patients with life-threatening conditions that require comprehensive monitoring and treatment.
Conditions such as severe infections, respiratory failure, heart attack, stroke, major surgeries, traumatic injuries, and organ failure often necessitate critical care.
The critical care team includes intensivists, critical care nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and other specialized healthcare providers.
ICU equipment includes ventilators, monitors, infusion pumps, dialysis machines, and other devices to support and monitor vital functions.
Patients in the ICU are continuously monitored using advanced technology to track vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and respiratory rate.
2. SPUTUM C/S
The Sputum C/S Test identifies microorganisms causing respiratory infections and determines their sensitivity to antibiotics.
A sputum sample is collected by coughing up mucus from the lungs, usually in the morning for the best results.
No special preparation is needed, but it is important to follow hygiene practices and inform your healthcare provider of any recent treatments.
Results are generally available within 3 to 5 days, depending on the growth rate of the microorganisms and the complexity of the infection.
Discuss the results with your healthcare provider to determine alternative treatment options based on the sensitivity profile of the identified microorganisms.
3. APTT Test
The APPT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time) test measures the time it takes for blood to clot, evaluating the functionality of clotting factors in the blood.
It is crucial for diagnosing bleeding disorders, monitoring anticoagulant therapy, and assessing clotting function before surgery.
No special preparation is usually needed. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking.
Results are generally available within a few hours to 1 day after the test.
The test helps diagnose bleeding disorders such as hemophilia, monitor anticoagulant therapy, and assess clotting function for surgical evaluation.
