The cost of treatment varies depending on the specificity of the condition. For example, patients with acute cardiac infarction often need coronary angiography and stenting, which often costs tens of thousands of dollars; patients with kidney failure need to undergo continuous blood purification treatment at the bedside, which costs about $5,000 a day or more; and for patients who need ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) support, the cost of a week's worth of treatment will be at least 200,000 RMB. and so on.
Part 1: Bed and nursing type costs.
Patients in the ICU are cared for by nursing staff throughout the entire process, including 24-hour monitoring, regular daily bed scrubs, oral care, turning and patting the back, feeding, cleaning stools, etc., so the supporting nursing costs are also higher than the general ward.
The second part: high-end instrument and equipment support and monitoring class fee kuizen carry.
In the daily work of the ICU, there are two elements that are very important, namely, close monitoring of the patient's vital signs, changes in vital indicators, as well as the use of equipment to support the patient's organs and life support, which must rely on high-end instruments and equipment in order to complete.
The third part: common ICU rescue, surgery and other operations did not ambulance class costs.
After entering the ICU, patients with acute and critical illnesses are often required to undergo a series of rescue operations due to the urgency of saving their lives, such as endotracheal intubation, opening of deep venous channels, arterial cannulation, chest compressions, indwelling gastric tubes, indwelling urinary catheters, and percutaneous tracheostomies, etc., which are costs that are often not involved in the general ward.
Part IV: Tests and examinations.
Patients entering the ICU to receive treatment are in critical, complex and fast-changing conditions, so the density and number of tests and examinations will increase significantly in the ICU ward.
Part V: Pharmaceutical Category Costs.
Patients admitted to the ICU are in critical condition hovering on the edge of life and death, and in order to capitalize on the slim chance of saving their lives, the medications used often involve expensive "specialty drugs".
