Overview

The Critical Care Department at Nepal Mediciti is staffed by a highly skilled team of intensivists, doctors, nurses, and allied staff, all dedicated to providing the best critical care services. Equipped with advanced technologies such as ECMO for cardiac and respiratory support and Sorin’s fifth-generation modular heart-lung machine, the department offers 24/7 comprehensive critical care with a 1:1 patient-to-nurse ratio ensuring personalized care for ICU patients. We integrate Protocolized Care with Precision Medicine and adopt a multidisciplinary approach to manage severe infections, sepsis, trauma, brain injury, shock with multi-organ failure, and ARDS. Advanced support services including mechanical ventilator support, respiratory care, IABP, RRT, advanced hemodynamic monitoring, and targeted temperature management are also available. Additionally, the department features an Early Warning System (EWS) and a Rapid Response Team (RRT) available around the clock, with dedicated programs for infection control, antibiotic stewardship, and point-of-care diagnostic and therapeutic facilities.

The department ensures efficient in-hospital and out-of-hospital transfer of critically ill patients and offers a post-critical care follow-up clinic to support continued care and recovery, along with compassionate end-of-life care and organ donation services. Supported by the Critical Care Information System for evidence-based decision-making and performance improvement initiatives, we utilize innovative approaches to achieve quality benchmarks using tools like ADT Scores, ICU Protocol Toolkit, Critical Care Scorecards, and more. The Critical Care Department is committed to providing safe, timely, effective, efficient, equitable, and patient-centered services, with the ultimate goal of improving care in the ICU and leading the way in critical care service in Nepal.
