Tehoosastosta

Tehoosastosta, often translated as intensive care unit (ICU) or critical care unit (CCU), is a specialized department within a hospital dedicated to the management of patients with life-threatening illnesses and injuries. These units are equipped with advanced medical technology and staffed by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including intensivists, critical care nurses, respiratory therapists, and pharmacists. The primary goal of the tehoosasto is to provide continuous monitoring, aggressive treatment, and life support to critically ill patients.

Patients admitted to the tehoosasto typically require close observation due to conditions such as severe trauma, major surgery complications, organ failure, sepsis, or acute respiratory distress. The environment is designed for constant vigilance, with sophisticated monitoring systems that track vital signs like heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and respiratory rate in real-time. Mechanical ventilation, dialysis, and other advanced life support measures are readily available and frequently employed.

The multidisciplinary team works collaboratively to stabilize patients, address the underlying cause of their critical condition, and prevent complications. Decisions regarding patient care are often complex and may involve discussions with the patient's family. While the tehoosasto offers a high level of care, it is a resource-intensive environment, and admission is reserved for those with the most severe medical needs. The ultimate aim is to improve patient outcomes and facilitate recovery from critical illness.
