ICU at home

ICU setup at home

ICU at Home is an advanced healthcare service that provides Intensive Care Unit (ICU)-level treatment to critically ill patients in the comfort of their own homes. It is designed for patients who require constant medical supervision but prefer (or are advised) to stay out of a hospital ICU due to comfort, cost, infection risk, or end-of-life care preferences.

There might be times, when it so happens that a patient requires the facilities of an Intensive Care Unit for a long duration. This can prove to be taxing, both monetarily and emotionally, especially for the immediate family members. This is where Healing Bharat can step in, and set up an ICU at home. At Healing Bharat, we understand that at no cost, do you want to compromise on the facilities being provided to your loved one.

What does it include?

ICU at home setup mainly comprises of the following:

• Critical Care Nurse: The most significant member of the ICU team at home is the critical care nurse, who will take care of the patient's daily medical needs like giving medicines, consulting the doctor, administering injections, checking daily progress and handling all medical equipment. An experienced critical care nurse makes sa major difference in the recovery of a patient. Learn more…
• Medical Equipment: An ICU setup at home requires technologically advanced medical equipment. This equipment varies from patient to patient. Some of the most commonly used medical equipment includes IV stand, para monitor, oxygen cylinder, suction machine, alpha mattress, nebulizer, DVT pump etc. Learn more…
• Bed Sore Management: Bedsores, if not paid attention to, can result in severe infection for the patient and hinder the recovery process. Thus, proper bedsore management includes change of dressing 2-3 times a day and proper use of alpha mattress.

Why ICU at home?

• Cost effective: The average cost of an ICU per day can fall anywhere between Rs 20,000 to Rs 40,000 whereas in comparison, a fully functional ICU setup at home will cost you around 8,000 to 12,000 per day. The difference in cost is huge.
• Personalized Care: In a hospital, a nurse attends to 3-4 patients at a time whereas if there's an ICU at home, you will get a critical care nurse at home, who'll only be devoted to the patient 24/7.
• Satisfaction: In a hospital ICU, you get to meet your loved one only once or twice a day, whereas at home, you can be near them all the time to personally monitor their caretaking..
• Home environment: It has been observed that patients tend to recover faster in the comforts of their home.
• Doctor supervision: Just like a hospital ICU, our nurses are in constant touch with the doctors at Healing Bharat to provide quality care to the patient.
