The General Intensive Care Units consist of the the 15 bed Green ICU and 13 bed Blue ICU.
The General ICU provides care to adult patients following routine high risk surgery as well as emergency admissions. Specific reasons for admission include:
- Liver Transplantation
- VV-ECMO
- Trauma
- Sepsis
- Multiorgan failure
- Pelvic Exenteration
- HIPEC surgery
- Ivor Lewis Oesophagectomy
- Complications post CAR-T cell therapy
Together with the Neurosciences and Cardiothoracic ICUs, the General ICUs play an essential role within RPA as well as the wider community. Central to this is the potential to provide 24-hour multidisciplinary support to complex, deteriorating or critically unwell people within RPA as well as those in our referral network.
Both Green and Blue ICU have a level 3 Nursing Unit Manager (NUM) present Monday to Friday and a full-time Clinical Nurse Educator (CNE).
Each unit is also staffed by an Intensive Care Specialist, ICU registrar and resident medical officers. The nurses and doctors work together with our allied health teams to provide the highest standard of care to our patients.
