in icuathome •  2 years ago  (edited)

There are many, rational, emotional, and clinical reasons behind moving patients out of clinic ICUs and providing them with icu setup at home.
There are patients who are presently not in the critical period of their illness but still need ICU facilities and critical care treatment. There are patients who are towards the end stage of their lives and may benefit from being sent home, where ICU services can in any case be provided alongside home care nursing with nursing services in Delhi. Extended stays in the ICU possibly increase the risk of acquiring nosocomial infections(Nosocomial infections also referred to as healthcare-associated infections (HAI), are infections acquired during the process of receiving medical care that was not present during the time of admission.), which could delay the beginning of rehabilitative treatments.
Thus, basically, individuals who might need critical care are the people who are recovering after a prolonged stay in the ICU, neurological patients, patients with spinal/brain injuries as well as multiple trauma, post-relocate patients, end-of-life care patients, cancer patients, patients with end-stage respiratory problems, patients on Ventilator or potentially Tracheostomy - to name a few.

Extended stays in the ICU possibly increase the risk of acquiring various infections that are resistant to drugs and delaying the beginning of rehabilitative treatments. Delivering critical care under the protection of icu setup at homeenjoys a few advantages.
