Intensive care
Patients who require intensive nursing and medical treatment after an operation are treated in our anesthesiology intensive care unit. We focus on visceral, vascular, urological, orthopaedic, plastic surgery and spinal surgery patients.
A well-coordinated team of specialist doctors and nurses are available to patients around the clock. Interdisciplinary cooperation with internal medicine and surgical colleagues ensures the best treatment for each individual patient.
In addition to traditional intensive care measures, we also use special nursing applications in our intensive care unit. These include, for example, the use of aromatic oils for external application (fever reduction) and basal stimulation.
For coma patients, we keep an individual intensive care diary after consultation with the relatives in order to better understand the time of ventilation and the artificial coma and possible memories and experiences following the stay in the intensive care unit.
