KIMS Orthopaedics Department

Overview

Intensive care unit (ICU) is one of the most dynamic and sensitive places in any hospital. Some of the sickest and the most vulnerable patients are admitted and cared for by the critical care team. The Department of Critical Care Medicine at PBMH, headed by Prof. Dr. Sujit Kumar Pradhan aims to provide the highest quality of care to critically ill patients emphasizing evidence-based practices, multidisciplinary collaboration and a patient centered approach.

The department that started with an 8-bedded intensive Care Unit (ICU) has now expanded to over 150 beds distributed over 5 different ICUs catering a wide spectrum of patients and subspecialities.

Mission

We are a multifaceted academic division striving to provide the best possible quality driven critical care through constant monitoring and prompt therapeutic interventions in the most compassionate, cost effective and innovative way. Our core values are providing service to our patients, promoting ethical and sustainable clinical practices and patient advocacy.

What we do

Critically ill patients need comprehensive care inclusive of both clinical expertise and technology. They require multiple time sensitive procedures like intubation for initiation of mechanical ventilation, central venous catheter insertion, arterial line insertion, hemodialysis catheter placement, thoracocentesis, paracentesis, tracheostomy etc. which are performed as per the needs of the patient.

Our ICUs are designed to provide care and comfort to the sickest patients and ensure their privacy and autonomy. We also have isolation rooms for patients with poor immunity like post-transplant and cancer patients. Our department is a large stakeholder in infection control and has been actively pursuing strict infection control protocols, raising awareness about hand hygiene and other sepsis prevention bundles.
