MICU Facilities & Equipment

Every bed within the MICU is fitted with a bedside cardiac monitor, central oxygen and suction and electronic infusion pumps. We have fully equipped crash carts, which can be taken to any patient in an event of a cardiac arrest or a respiratory arrest. The MICU has facility for both non-invasive (CPAP) and invasive respiratory support of moribund patients including newer advanced ventilators like the HORUS and the Bennet Puritan 760. The MICU also has an arterial blood gas machine for better assessment of patients on ventilatory support. We also have facilities for transvenous pacing for cardiac emergencies and a service area dedicated to routine maintenance and upkeep of all the electronic equipment that is so crucial to modern critical care practice.
