Illness can occur at any time without warning. Anyone who feels abnormal symptoms that cause concern, whether for themselves or close ones, consulting and receiving treatment from a well-equipped hospital is the best solution to ensure safety and recovery. In emergency cases where patients require immediate treatment, Phyathai 3 Hospital is prepared to receive emergency or critical patients at the Critical Care Center, or ICU, which is available 24 hours a day.
What diseases can ICU Phyathai 3 treat?
The Critical Care Center, or ICU, is a designated area in the hospital for caring for patients with critical conditions, whether due to accidents or complications from other diseases. Critical patients receive care from a specialized medical team at the Critical Care Center, which differs from general patient care by having a dedicated medical team and specialized equipment to provide timely treatment for critical patients.
The ICU at Phyathai 3 Hospital is fully equipped to care for patients with all types of conditions, including internal medicine, surgery, neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, critical obstetrics patients, as well as pediatric and neonatal patients.
3 Key Strengths That Make ICU Phyathai 3 Capable of Handling Critical Patients
The readiness of the Critical Care Center, or ICU, at Phyathai 3 Hospital to effectively and promptly care for critical patients is based on three main strengths:
- A sufficient medical staff ready to serve 24 hours a day – The ICU at Phyathai 3 Hospital has doctors, nurses, and specialized staff from all fields prepared to care for critical patients around the clock. Typically, caring for critical patients requires many staff because each critical patient must be monitored in real time and receive bedside care. The medical team at the ICU can accommodate up to 25 critical patients simultaneously. The working approach is to have staff ready “waiting for patients,” ensuring that in any emergency or critical case, a medical team is always ready to provide rapid and timely treatment.
- Fully equipped with modern medical devices – The ICU at Phyathai 3 Hospital has medical equipment for treating all types of critical conditions, covering all abnormalities. It is also ready to open operating rooms for emergency surgeries 24/7 with advanced and sufficient medical tools. This is a crucial factor that enhances treatment effectiveness and success chances. Examples of important medical devices include the Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP), which supports heart function in patients with weak hearts who cannot yet undergo surgery. This device improves patient conditions and reduces the risk of critical events. For patients with critical conditions such as stroke, the ICU team can quickly coordinate transfers for clot removal treatment at affiliated hospitals, increasing the patient’s chance of surviving this dangerous condition.
- An efficient critical patient transport and access team – Another key factor for effective critical patient care is patient transport. Often, critical patients are in remote or hard-to-reach areas. If the transport team arrives late and delivers the patient late to the medical team, the risk increases. Therefore, Phyathai 3 Hospital’s patient transport team is fully prepared to access and transport patients via all routes, both land and air. The team members are specialists who can provide care, first aid, and initial treatment during transport if the patient is in critical condition. From before transport, during transport, to patient handover, every case is carefully planned with real-time communication among all staff to prepare equipment and ensure comprehensive readiness. This results in efficient, fast, and timely treatment, greatly increasing the chances of success.
Supporting Epidemic Patients with the Highest Safety Care Measures
In addition to caring for critical patients with all types of conditions, the ICU at Phyathai 3 Hospital also has plans in place for severe epidemic outbreaks. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, isolation rooms were prepared specifically for infected patients, known as Negative Pressure Rooms, allowing for standard care without spreading the infection. Suspected patients are treated separately in another area. These areas for at-risk and infected patients are separated from other critical and general patients, ensuring safe and effective care for all patients.
If You Feel Abnormal, Even Mildly, Call the Critical Care Center for Free Consultation
Many people may think they must wait until symptoms become critical before using the services of the Emergency Critical Care Center or ICU at Phyathai 3 Hospital. However, the ultimate goal of treatment is to prevent patients from becoming critically ill before receiving care. Therefore, Phyathai 3 Hospital offers free consultation services about abnormal symptoms 24 hours a day.
Simply contact the Call Center at 1772, where staff will answer questions and provide advice about your symptoms. This helps reduce the risk of developing critical conditions. If it is determined that urgent treatment is necessary, the team can immediately coordinate medical personnel to transport the patient to the hospital quickly.
