● Mobile intensive care unit: These are the special kind of ambulances for the patients who need a life support
system or help when transferred from one place to another or one hospital to another. These are also used to bring
patients with critical conditions to hospitals.
● Neonatal intensive care unit: Few patients face complications during the process of birth, and these patients stay
in hospital after the birth. It may be the child or the mother, but few patients face problems and need supports, so
they are kept in this ward until they recover or can be stable to be shifted to the general ward.
● Pediatric intensive care unit: This unit is for sick children who mostly suffer from asthma, influenza, diabetic
ketoacidosis, or some kind of traumatic brain surgery. Most of them are facing life-threatening diseases and are in
critical conditions. All the intensive pediatric cases are treated in this ward. The children with special cardiac
surgeries or having contagious heart disease are also treated here.
● Post-anesthesia care unit: This is the ward where patients are kept for a really short time and the patients who are
too unstable and need special care. These patients are those who are kept here for stabilization following surgery or
anesthesia

● Surgical intensive care unit: This is a special kind of ward chosen for the patients who need surgery or are
shifted here after surgery. This ward is looked after by the surgeons and staff selected by them, and this makes
these wards different from other ICUs.
● Trauma intensive care unit: These are the wards specially prepared for patients suffering from some kind of
trauma or major trauma. This ward has a very well-prepared team to handle people suffering from trauma or
any kind of such complications.
What are the types of equipment and facilities In an Intensive Care Unit, there are a number of facilities that
aren't in any other ward of the hospital. There are special ICU wards in every hospital in which there is a nurse for every
1 or 2 patients. Apart from that, every doctor or specialist takes a round of an ICU during their duty period and takes
care if any patients need any help or facing any issue and want support. Except for these, there is some special
equipment in the ICU ward, which are as follow;
● A ventilator This is a special kind of machine that helps as a life support system; it is used for persons who face
difficulty breathing. In this equipment, a tube is placed inside the nose or mouth or through a small cut in the
throat.
● Suction machines
These machines are used to remove a person's saliva, vomit, mucus, etc., which may increase
● Infusion pipes
Infusions pumps are also known as drips. They are helpful to create a flow of medications in the human body.
Besides the above-mentioned equipment, there are many other types of equipment in different hospitals according
to their needs and the disease they treat.
● Monitoring Equipment
There is special monitoring equipment used to monitor some important organ functioning, for example, your
heartbeat or blood pressure or the oxygen rate or levels in the blood.
● Painkillers or sedatives
These are used to decrease the pains as many types of equipment in ICU can be uncomfortable for the patients,
and they may need painkillers or sedatives

ICU - INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
DEFINITION A unit in a hospital providing intensive care for critically ill or injured patients that
is staffed by specially trained medical personnel and has equipment that allows
for continuous monitoring and life support
DIMENSIONS Patient area – in adult ICUs at least 20 m2 of floor area is required for each
bedspace in an open area exclusive of service areas and circulation space.
Single rooms should be at least 25 m2 . Paediatric ICUs may use less than 20m2
when using cots rather than beds. There must be adequate access to the head
of each bed.
FUNCTION Intensive care units cater to patients with severe or life-threatening illnesses and
injuries, which require constant care, close supervision from life support
equipment and medication in order to ensure normal bodily functions.
VENTILATION Many ICUs have either no or very few windows. Heating, ventilation and air-
conditioning (HVAC) has a pivotal role in determining infection rates in the
intensive care unit (ICU), apart from its primary purpose of providing
comfortable living and safe environment for the patients, ICU staff and visitors
LOCATION it should be placed in such a way that it is easily accessible for circulation from
emergency, diagnosis,mortuary,observation ward.

Hospital parking contributes to poor patient care and is a common patient problem in many facilities .
Driveway is used by all the vehicles entering the hospital, this leads to the congestion and
hinders ambulance movement.

● A service of lift is used in order to achieve vertical transportation quickly,efficiently and with much less
effort.
● Hospital lifts are designed for transportation of persons and hospital beds together with medical
equipment and personnel, and also emergency lifts.
● They are characterized by accurate minimum cabin dimensions and door width as well as some
functions such as ‘privileged travel’.
● Feature/function: Hydraulic lifts
● Hospital elevators may be preferred as to their variable carrying capacities from 1600 kg to 2000 kg
and their various speeds from 0,40 m/s up to 30m/s.

Hospital architecture and planning goes through various stages in which one of the
important factor to be considered is the planning of the width of the hospital corridors for
different departments. Corridors of a hospital play an important role as they not only
connect one department with the another but also act as channels of travel for patients,
staff members, visitors and material. There is a continuous traffic in these pathways for which
their widths should be planned accordingly.
● Generally accessible corridors should be at least
1.50m wide .
● Those in which patients are transported on beds ,
wheelchairs must have a usable width of 2.25m .
● Typical double corridor nursing unit which is often utilized in hospital planning.
ADVANTAGES :
● For safety reasons stairs must be built so that they can accept the entire vertical traffic in case of need.
● They must also be constructed to prevent sound and odour transfer and prevent draughts.
● Stairs must have two sides handrails without free ends on both sides.
● Spiral stairs are not permissible as emergency stairs and their landings must be at least of 1.5m and not more than
2.50m.
● Risers of 17cm are permissible and treads of 30cms are recommended .
● Doors for the stairwells must need to be open in the direction of the escape route.
1. All linen after use will be collected in each department / ward and segregated into potentially infective and not
potentially infected. The former will include all linen which has been soiled with body fluids and will be kept
separately.
2. Sluicing / Treatment of soiled / infected linen
a. All infected linen / linen soiled with body fluids will be soaked in 0.5% bleaching solution for 30 mins then
washed with water & detergent to remove bleach before handing over for washing.
b. Handing taking over of linen with the laundry staff. The soiled linen is tied into bundles and an entry made. The
infected linen is accounted and handed over separately. If possible all linen is inspected for tears and damage
at this point to avoid dispute.
3. The linen is washed, dried and ironed by the laundry staff. Infected linen is washed separately. The linen is returned
to the health facility where it is properly taken over and a record made of the same. Repairs will be carried out on
torn linen.
4. Clean linen should be stored in a dry place on racks. Clean linen is transported on a clean trolley.
5. Blankets can be dry cleaned or hand washed. Hand-washing can be done by first soaking for 15 minutes in
lukewarm water. The soap suds are squeezed through the blanket and then rinsed in cold water at least twice. The
blanket should not be twisted or wrung. It should be dried by spreading it on a clean surface.
