FAQ

What is respiratory failure?

Respiratory failure is lung failure that results in dangerously low levels of oxygen or dangerously high levels of carbon dioxide, which is a waste gas. Respiratory failure can result from lung conditions such as pneumonia, emphysema, or smoke inhalation. Respiratory failure can also be caused by conditions affecting the nerves and muscles that control breathing, such as drug and alcohol overdoses

Is it normal to feel depressed after hospitalization in an ICU

Depression occurs in one out of three patients after critical illness. Symptoms of depression that might be experienced include prolonged sadness, loss of interest in activities that used to be enjoyable, inability to concentrate, changes in appetite, and changes in sleep.

What is shock?

Shock is a condition in which vital organs are not getting enough oxygen because of low blood pressure. Shock can be caused by many medical conditions, such as heart attack, massive blood loss, severe trauma or sepsis.

Can I visit my family member or friend who is in the ICU ?

It is very important for family to be a part of the healing process . The presence of loved ones will reassure the patient It is also very important that privacy is maintained , noise and infection are controlled and patients get time to rest and sleep.
