INTENSIVE CARE AT FMC
The intensive care unit at Fairchild Medical Center is where patients with serious injuries and illnesses receive round-the-clock care from specially trained staff, including:
- Close monitoring and life support
- Invasive procedures and specialized treatments
- Pain management and sedation
- Emotional support for patients and families
Unlike other hospital departments, the ICU monitors patients 24/7 so our medical staff can quickly respond to any changes in their condition. This unit is equipped with state-of-the-art monitoring devices that measure heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and other critical life functions. They also contain ventilators and other assistance devices.
Patients are often admitted to the ICU for:
- Monitoring after an intensive surgery
- Treatment for a stroke
- Difficulty breathing
- Serious heart health risks
- Poisoning
- Dehydration
- Serious infections
- Diabetic complications
