With the objective of providing solace to patients grappling with respiratory issues, Global Hospitals, Parel, Mumbai has unveiled Intensive Respiratory Care Unit (IRCU) facility featuring 8 beds that boasts technology, that 2 are exclusive negative pressure cubicles.
This specialised unit is specifically designed for the comprehensive management of complex respiratory conditions that have seen a surge post-pandemic.
Dr Samir Garde, Director of Dept of Pulmonology and Lung Transplant, Global Hospitals, Parel said, “Air pollution due to construction work and increased traffic congestion has significantly heightened the risk of respiratory disorders. As a result, there has been an increase in cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, bronchitis, and pneumonia. Common complaints presented by affected individuals include breathlessness, chest infections, coughing up blood, wheezing, persistent coughing, episodes of fatigue, weight loss, and sputum production. It is crucial for those with respiratory disorders to promptly seek medical intervention in order to prevent further complications such as long-term lung damage that can disrupt their daily routines. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential for effectively managing these issues.”
Dr Prashant Borade, Director- Critical Care, Global Hospitals Parel says, “Respiratory infections are a common and serious concern in the ICU, as they can significantly impact the health and recovery of patients. By promoting a holistic approach that combines proper infection control practices with individualised patient care strategies designed to enhance lung function, respiratory infections can be managed more successfully in ICUs.”
