Your health. Our priority.

In intensive care, outcomes follow from consistency: the same team, reviewing the same patient, several times a day.

  • Led by intensivists rather than covered between other duties
  • Continuous monitoring with nursing ratios that allow a change to be noticed within minutes
  • Organ support available on site, including ventilation and dialysis, so nobody is transferred while unstable
  • A daily conversation with the family, at a set time, in language that can be understood

Questions, answered.

Common questions about critical care medicine care at Humayun Hospital.

Can I visit my relative in intensive care?

Yes, at set times, and usually one or two visitors at a time. The restrictions are about infection and about giving the team room to work, not about keeping families away.

What does being on a ventilator mean?

A machine is supporting or taking over breathing while the lungs recover. Patients are usually sedated. It is support, not a treatment in itself, and the aim is always to come off it.

How long will my relative be in the ICU?

It depends entirely on the illness. The team will give you a realistic picture each day and tell you when the direction changes, in either direction.

Who do I speak to for an update?

The intensivist gives a daily update at a set time. Ask the nursing staff when that is, and nominate one family member to receive it so the information stays consistent.
