About ICU – Intensive Care

Advanced Intensive Care Unit (ICU) & Critical Care Services

Our state-of-the-art Intensive Care Unit (ICU) delivers round-the-clock, multidisciplinary critical care for critically ill patients suffering from severe gastrointestinal emergencies, multi-organ failure, acute liver failure, septic shock, and complex post-operative recovery.
"Our commitment is simple — every patient, every condition, every time. We bring world-class digestive care to your doorstep."

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Gastro Liver Hospital is a tertiary-level critical care facility designed to treat life-threatening conditions with uncompromising precision, rapid intervention, and compassionate medical care. Our unit brings together seasoned intensivists, critical care anesthesiologists, pulmonologists, and skilled critical care nurses working collaboratively 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Equipped with advanced invasive hemodynamic monitoring, high-end mechanical ventilators, bedside ultrasound (POCUS), point-of-care blood gas analysis, and round-the-clock dialysis capabilities, our ICU provides immediate life support for patients facing multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), septic shock, and severe metabolic crises.

Given our hospital’s specialized focus on gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary care, our ICU features specialized protocols for managing acute liver failure, hepatic encephalopathy, acute variceal bleeding, acute necrotizing pancreatitis, and high-risk surgical monitoring following major liver and gastrointestinal resections.
