What is ICCU in the hospital?
ICU is the abbreviation of English intensive care unit, which means intensive care unit. With the development of medical nursing specialty, the birth of new medical equipment and the improvement of hospital management system, intensive care is a medical organization and management form that combines modern medical nursing technology. Small and medium-sized hospitals are a ward, and large hospitals are a special department. Only by focusing on critically ill patients and giving them the best protection in manpower, material resources and technology can we get good treatment results. ICU has a history of more than 30 years in the world, and now it has become a rescue center for critically ill patients in hospitals. ICU monitoring level and advanced equipment have become an important symbol to measure the level of a hospital. ICU in China started late, starting in the early 1980s. At present, hospitals with ICU in China are not common, but they have been paid attention to and are estimated to develop rapidly. ICU is divided into specialized ICU (such as burn ICU, cardiovascular surgery ICU, neonatal ICU, etc. ). CCU is a specialized ICU, and the first C is the abbreviation of coronary heart disease, which is specially aimed at severe coronary heart disease. There is a central monitoring station in ICU, which can directly observe all the monitored beds. Each bed covers a wide area, and the beds are separated by glass or cloth curtains. The main patients in ICU are: ① patients with severe trauma and major surgery, and patients who must continuously monitor and support their life indicators; ② those who need cardiopulmonary resuscitation; ③ Failure of one organ (including heart, brain, lung, liver and kidney) or multiple organs; ④ Patients with severe shock, septicemia and poisoning; ⑤ Patients who need intensive care and treatment before and after organ transplantation. After the condition improved, he was transferred back to the general ward. ICU equipment must be equipped with bedside monitors, central monitors, multifunctional respiratory therapy machines, anesthesia machines, electrocardiographs, defibrillators, pacemakers, infusion pumps, micro-syringes, first-aid equipment for tracheal intubation and tracheotomy. Hospitals with better conditions include blood gas analyzer, microcomputer, electroencephalograph, B-ultrasound, bedside X-ray machine, hemodialysis machine, intra-arterial balloon counterpulsation machine, routine hematuria analyzer and blood biochemical analyzer. Because ICU monitors and treats critically ill patients with modern medical equipment, the staff working in ICU must have solid basic medical knowledge, rich clinical experience, strong adaptability and be proficient in the operation of complex instruments. ICU can make critical patients get early and accurate diagnosis and emergency and appropriate treatment. Maybe some friends have seen SICU, which means surgical intensive care. CCU is also the abbreviation of Central Control Unit.
