Intensive Care for Critical Illness

Matis Hospitals provides medical care for patients with serious illnesses or conditions that require close observation and ongoing clinical assessment. Critical care involves monitoring a patient's condition, evaluating changes in their health and guiding appropriate treatment according to their medical needs.The care required depends on the patient's condition, medical history and clinical assessment. The appropriate treatment and care arrangements are determined by the treating medical team.

Conditions Requiring Critical Care

Care for Serious Illness

At Matis Hospital, our Critical Care unit is designed to deliver intensive treatment for patients requiring constant monitoring and immediate medical attention. We manage complex conditions such as respiratory failure, trauma, burns, and other critical illnesses using advanced technology and expert clinical practices.

Serious illnesses can affect different organs and body systems and may require closer medical observation. Examples of conditions that may need critical care assessment include:

Severe infections: Infections that can significantly affect the body’s normal functions.
Respiratory conditions: Problems affecting breathing or the body’s ability to maintain adequate oxygen levels.
Multi-organ dysfunction: Conditions in which more than one organ system is affected.
Serious trauma: Injuries that require prompt medical evaluation and close observation.
Severe poisoning: Exposure to substances that can cause significant harm and require urgent medical assessment.
Metabolic complications: Serious disturbances in the body’s normal chemical processes.
Heart-related illnesses: Conditions affecting heart function that may require close medical supervision.
Other serious conditions: Illnesses that may require intensive monitoring, depending on their severity and clinical assessment.

The level of care required varies from patient to patient. The treating medical team determines the appropriate assessment, monitoring and treatment based on the patient’s condition.

Monitoring, Treatment & Support

Intensive Care Support

Intensive care involves close clinical observation and assessment of patients with serious or potentially life-threatening conditions. Care decisions may take into account the patient’s symptoms, vital signs, medical history and response to treatment.

The type of monitoring, treatment and support required depends on the patient’s clinical needs and the facilities available. Patients and their families can contact Matis Hospitals to enquire about critical care services and the appropriate arrangements for assessment.

When a patient’s condition requires services or specialist facilities that are not available at the hospital, appropriate further care arrangements may need to be considered based on the clinical situation.
