FAQs

Learn the finer details of critical care and the treatments administered in the Emergency Room.

What is Critical Care or Intensive Care?

Critical Care is the life-saving care that hospitals provide for patients with acute illnesses and life-threatening injuries or medical conditions. Critical care is rendered at a hospital emergency room, an accident site, in an ambulance or in the operating room.

When does one need emergency medical care?

There are some signs that one should not ignore. You must reach out for emergency care if you or your loved ones experience the following symptoms:

  • Shortness of breath/ difficulty in breathing
  • Pain in the chest region
  • Sudden dizziness, vomiting, and weakness
  • Pain or pressure in the upper abdominal region
  • Uncontrolled bleeding
  • Acute pain
  • Coughing or vomiting blood
  • Severe falls
  • Slurred speech
  • Sudden confusion and changes in the mental state
  • Changes in vision
  • Uncontrolled diarrhoea or vomiting
  • Suicidal feelings

How do the terms "Critical Care" and "Emergency Medicine" differ?

Critical care refers to the treatment of patients who suffer from severe conditions that could endanger their lives. The Emergency Department staff stabilizes patients and then transports them to the ICU or another area of the hospital for further treatment. Patients who are critically ill or injured are often managed by critical care professionals in the Intensive Care Unit.

What is the duration of Critical Care treatment?

The treatment duration is determined by the specific illness or medical condition and its complexity. The treatment can range from minor procedures like medication, bandaging, or infusions to complex emergency surgeries. Moreover, the presence of other critically ill patients can also impact the duration.

Is it mandatory for all emergency cases to be admitted to the hospital?

The decision to admit a patient who has come to the emergency room depends entirely on the doctor who treats them. The doctor will make the decision based on the patient's condition. At Krishna Hospital, we shall make all efforts to expedite your admission process.

What kind of medical conditions do you treat in your ICU?

In our ICU, we render special medical care for cardio-related symptoms, cerebrovascular accidents, stroke, burns, falls, fractures, and many other serious conditions.

What if patients have questions regarding their treatment?

Patients are welcome to clarify their queries regarding the treatment and the procedures. At Krishna Hospital, we provide all our patients with detailed verbal and written instructions about the diagnosis. We also provide a medication prescription and recommend a schedule for follow-up appointments.

What is the follow-up care for patients who leave the emergency room?

If admission is unnecessary, our emergency care doctors will give you the necessary instructions and prescriptions to take care of yourself at home. They may also recommend further treatment from other specialists, depending on the specificity of the problem.

What is Shock?

Shock is a medical condition in which the vital organs are deprived of oxygen due to low blood pressure. Heart attacks, trauma, sepsis and massive blood loss can cause shock.

What is respiratory failure?

Respiratory failure is a condition that results in dangerously low blood oxygen levels or dangerously high levels of carbon dioxide. Conditions like pneumonia, smoke inhalation, and emphysema can cause respiratory failure. It can also occur when the muscles and nerves that control breathing are affected.
