Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU)

For cardiac patients who need intensive care for conditions involving the heart, lungs, or airways, the American Hospital provides a specialized intensive care facility that is fully equipped to deliver exceptional services that ensure our patient's safety and speedy recovery.

Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU):

Cardiac intensive care pertains to the specialized and systemic management of patients afflicted with severe cardiovascular conditions, encompassing both cardiovascular and cardiac illnesses. Globally, cardiac ailments rank among the main causes of mortality. At American Hospital Dubai, an intensive care unit has been established to treat patients with critical cardiac conditions and prevent mortality from these conditions. Patients with critical cardiac conditions are the sole focus of the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (Cardiac ICU), which is committed to delivering round-the-clock, comprehensive, and thorough care. To provide patients with optimal outcomes amidst their critical circumstances, our clinical operation consists of continuous surveillance, individualized patient attention, and family-focused assistance. Moreover, the cardiac surgery ICU delivers rehabilitation programs to assist patients in their recovery after the operation or surgery.

The following conditions are treated and managed at the dedicated ICU for cardiac patients: 

• Congenital heart disease: Treating individuals with heart conditions present at birth, ensuring specialized care for optimal health.
• Aortic regurgitation and valve stenosis: Managing issues with the heart valves, specifically addressing problems related to aortic regurgitation and stenosis. 
• Atrial and ventricular septal defect: Expert care for patients with holes in the heart walls, focusing on both atrial and ventricular septal defects. 
• Cardiomyopathy and myocarditis: Providing intensive care for conditions affecting heart muscle function and inflammation of the heart. 
• Primary pulmonary hypertension: Specialized treatment for elevated blood pressure in the lungs, ensuring comprehensive care. 
• Tracheal stenosis: Addressing narrowed windpipes requires specialized attention for optimal respiratory function. 
• Inherited heart conditions: Managing heart issues passed down through generations, tailoring treatment to genetic factors.
• Heart transplant: Overseeing the complex process of replacing a diseased heart with a healthy one. 
• Lung transplant: Specialized care for patients undergoing transplantation of the lungs for improved respiratory function. 
• Rhythm disorders: Addressing irregular heartbeats and related conditions and ensuring optimal cardiac rhythm for overall well-being. 

Services at AHD Cardiac Intensive Care Unit:

• We have a multidisciplinary team consisting of board-certified intensivists and other specialists, including cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, ventilator technicians, physiotherapists, and pharmacists in CICU, who can conveniently handle highly complicated cardiac cases. 
• Passive monitoring systems in our CICU attend to vital signs, cardiac functions, and other important parameters on a real-time basis. This type of constant monitoring helps to undertake timely intervention in a way that is always customized.
• Emergencies in health don't follow a certain pattern of timing, and so neither do we. The CICU works around the clock, evaluating patient issues together with continuous monitoring and immediate response to patients' conditions.
• We develop a personal treatment plan that addresses both the medical and individual needs of each patient.
• To help families manage difficult situations, our CICU promotes a culture of open communication and regular updates. Schedules are compiled several days ahead with the clinical team, ensuring that nursing care delivery needs modification depending on each patient's condition daily.
• In addition to providing critical care, our CICU also offers assistance in patients' return journeys during rehabilitation.
