Admission and hospitalization

Intensive Care takes care of patients with acute or chronic conditions from other wards of this Hospital and others, directly through Emergency Room or through the territorial emergency network (118).

It also takes care of patients subject to major surgeries with important associated comorbidities.

Usually Intensive Care treatment lasts until vital signs are stabilized.

Conditions treated

Intensive Care treats the critical phase of life-threatening conditions, with specific diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, with the use of high complexity resources.

Humanization of cures

The principle of humanization of cures inspired the realization of the new Intensive Care unit, to make patients the core of therapeutic process.

This principle opposes excessive medicalization of healthcare areas, diagnostic and therapeutic processes and relations between doctor and patient with the objective of restore humanity, familiarity, identity and relations typical of people more than patients, at the same time maintaining healthcare excellence of modern medicine.

To this end it aims at the satisfying the needs of patients and their loved ones, considering the strong emotional content of these experiences.
