Intensive Care involves two critical elements: a 24-hour-a-day advanced cardiac life support-certified staff of nurses and monitoring and life-support equipment that reflects state-of-the-art technology.

The experience of HCMC's ICU nurses averages 20 years. Our digital monitoring equipment is so accurate that it can recall the specific parameters of a patient's heartbeat that occurred 24-hours earlier. And from the ICU, nurses can monitor a patient's heart even though he or she is located in a patient room on another floor.

Our range of diagnostic and monitoring equipment for the ICU is continuously being updated as today's medical technology is enhanced and improved. But equally important, we look after the care of our patients' families by providing a spacious waiting room within our ICU, comfortably furnished with sleep recliners.
