Apex Multispeciality Hospital : Kopar Khairane
ICU & ICCU Critical Care in Kopar Khairane, Navi Mumbai
Apex Multispeciality Hospital in Kopar Khairane has an intensive care unit (ICU) and intensive cardiac care (ICCU) for adults who are critically ill and need round-the-clock monitoring and life support. The unit has ventilators, BiPAP machines, cardiac monitors, defibrillators and a central oxygen supply, with qualified doctors and nurses present 24 hours a day.
What is the difference between an ICU and an ICCU?
An ICU (intensive care unit) looks after patients whose life is at risk from any serious illness, such as severe infection, breathing failure or poisoning.
An ICCU (intensive cardiac care unit) focuses on serious heart problems, such as a heart attack, a dangerous heart rhythm or severe heart failure. These patients need continuous heart monitoring and quick access to a cardiologist.
Who may need intensive care?
- A heart attack, including monitoring after thrombolysis (clot-dissolving treatment)
- Severe heart failure or a dangerous heart rhythm
- Severe breathing difficulty, including pneumonia, flare-ups of COPD or asthma, and ARDS
- Sepsis, a life-threatening reaction to infection
- Poisoning or drug overdose
- Stroke, brain bleeds and serious head injury
- Serious road accidents and other trauma
- Diabetic emergencies and severe dengue
- Close monitoring after a major operation
ICU facilities and equipment
- Ventilators and BiPAP machines for breathing support
- Multi-parameter cardiac monitors at every bed
- Defibrillators for life-threatening heart rhythms
- Syringe pumps for precise delivery of medicines
- Central oxygen supply
- Qualified doctors and nursing staff on duty 24×7
- 24×7 electricity backup
ARDS and severe breathing failure
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious condition in which the lungs become inflamed and fill with fluid, so oxygen cannot reach the blood properly. It can follow pneumonia, sepsis, injury and other illnesses. Patients with ARDS are treated in the ICU with oxygen, BiPAP or ventilator support, treatment of the underlying cause and careful fluid management, with input from our chest physicians.
How care is organised in our ICU
- Patients come to the ICU from the emergency department, the wards or the operation theatre.
- Continuous monitoring. Heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen level and breathing are watched all the time.
- Daily specialist review. Physicians, cardiologists, chest physicians and surgeons see patients according to their condition.
- Step-down. When stable, patients move to the ward to continue recovery.
Information for families
- The treating doctor meets the family to explain the patient’s condition and plan. [HOSPITAL TO VERIFY: fixed time for daily family briefing]
- Visits are limited to protect patients from infection. [HOSPITAL TO VERIFY: ICU visiting hours and attendant policy]
- You will be asked for consent before major procedures such as putting a patient on a ventilator.
- For cashless treatment, share the patient’s policy details at the front desk early. See our insurance and TPA list.
Risks and limitations of intensive care
Intensive care gives the best possible support, but it cannot guarantee recovery. Seriously ill patients can develop complications such as new infections, blood clots, confusion (delirium) and muscle weakness, and the ICU team works to prevent and treat these.
If a patient needs a treatment that is not available at Apex, such as heart surgery or specialised paediatric intensive care, the team arranges a safe transfer to a suitable hospital.
If someone is critically ill right now, bring them to the Apex emergency department or call +91 85912 35064. For an ambulance in Maharashtra, dial 108. |
