Liv Hospital Intensive Care Unit

The Liv Hospital Intensive Care Unit is equipped with modern monitors and monitoring technologies utilizing advanced medical technology. Our unit is designed to provide care, primarily for cardiovascular patients and high-risk post-operative cases, manage complications, and deliver both supportive therapy and maintenance care.

The General Intensive Care Unit at Liv Hospital features a well-equipped structure with single-bed isolation rooms. A faculty member and an intensive care specialist are on duty during the day, and at night, a team of specialist doctors ensures continuous patient monitoring and treatment.

In the Intensive Care Unit, each nurse provides care for a maximum of two patients, which enhances the quality and safety of patient care. Our goal is to achieve positive clinical outcomes in our patients by utilizing current intensive care approaches and all available organ support systems. For this purpose, organ support methods such as hemodiafiltration, hemodialysis, plasmapheresis, liver support systems, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are successfully applied in our intensive care unit, yielding favorable results.

Clinical activities in the Liv Hospital General Intensive Care Unit are evaluated on a monthly basis, and the data obtained is compared with results in both national and international literature. These evaluations show that we meet our goals each month.
