ICU - Intensive Care Unit
 
With important technological innovations and excellent traditional medical services, Hospital Herrera Llerandi recently renovated its Intensive Care Unit.

This unit guarantees excellent service, not only based on the introduction of important technological changes, but also considering other factors equally important. The bases on which the platform of excellent attention to critical patients rests are: Cutting edge technology, efficient physical infrastructure, renowned specialist doctors and highly skilled staff committed in providing the best personalized attention.

It’s important to note that an added value of this Intensive Care Unit at Hospital Herrera Llerandi is shaped by the Resident Doctors and the Nurses staff, who are specially trained to care for critical conditions patients, 24 hours a day - 365 days a year.

Among many innovations in this unit, we can mention an advanced monitoring system which allows controlling, not only vital signs, but other heart and brain parameters of great medical value, as well. In addition, we have introduced the monitoring at a distance (telemetry) which allows to watch patients out of intensive care, recovering in more relaxed surroundings, in the company of their families, if their condition so allows.

The modern equipment provided to this unit includes metabolic beds that continually register the weight of patients, fans, special systems to provide oxygen and air conditioning units with special filters to minimize contamination risks.

The Intensive Care Unit at Hospital Herrera Llerandi has a sophisticated section for newborn babies which allows a more efficient recovery for babies in critical conditions. The neonatology section has high frequency fans, thermal cradles with surroundings controlling oxygen, humidity and temperature, non-invasive monitoring, music therapy and of course, highly trained staff who are vigilant to avoid unnecessary manipulation of babies.
