Whether it’s Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA), sepsis, poisoning, or other life-threatening emergencies, our goal is rapid, evidence-based, and compassionate intervention.
What Is Critical Care?
Critical care, often referred to as intensive care, is specialized medical care provided to patients suffering from severe, life-threatening conditions. These may include complications from chronic diseases, acute medical events, trauma, or infections. Patients in critical care units (ICUs) require continuous monitoring, advanced organ support, and skilled medical teams.
Common Conditions Requiring Critical Care
At HMH, our ICU in Mohali frequently manages several serious medical emergencies, including:
- Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)
DKA is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when the body starts breaking down fats at a rapid rate, leading to a buildup of acids in the blood. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, deep breathing, and confusion. Prompt ICU admission, fluid management, insulin therapy, and electrolyte correction are vital to prevent coma or death.
- Sepsis
Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to infection and can rapidly lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death if untreated. At HMH, we follow international sepsis protocols, including early antibiotic administration, fluid resuscitation, and organ support.
- Poisoning and Overdose
Whether accidental or intentional, poisoning and drug overdoses require urgent, specialized care. Our team at HMH is trained in gastric decontamination, antidote administration, toxin elimination methods (like dialysis), and respiratory support when needed.
- Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
Often seen in severe infections, trauma, or COVID-19 complications, ARDS leads to respiratory failure. Mechanical ventilation, oxygen therapy, and lung-protective strategies are central to management.
- Cardiac Emergencies
Heart attacks, arrhythmias, or cardiac arrests are also managed under critical care. Immediate ECG monitoring, thrombolysis, and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) protocols are used to stabilize patients.
