Treatments & Procedures

This is a procedure done to place a triple lumen catheter in one of the larger veins draining directly into the heart like the Internal jugular Vein or Subclavian Vein.

In SRH we do these procedures under Ultrasound Guidance which minimizes the risks of complication like inadvertent arterial puncture or lung puncture.
Bronchoscopy is a procedure where a videoscope is inserted into the breathing pipe of a patient to look inside the lungs and is both a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure.

The facility to do bedside bronchoscopy comes in handy for patients who are highly dependent on ventilator support and who cannot be moved outside. Timely bedside bronchoscopy will be a life saver in patients who have severe hypoxemia secondary to mucus plug/clot obstructing a bronchus. It is also useful to take samples like BAL for difficult to diagnose patients.
This a procedure done for continuous beat to beat monitoring of invasive blood pressure monitoring. A thin catheter is placed in a peripheral artery like Radial, Dorsalis Pedis Artery or Central like Femoral Artery.

Placing an arterial Catheter helps in accurate measurement of Blood pressure and thereby timely alteration of doses of medicine aimed to increase or decrease blood pressure.
This is an invasive procedure where by an electrode is placed inside one of the cardiac chambers to temporarily act as a pacemaker. This is used in patients with complete heart block due to cardiac diseases or poisoning.

In our ICU we place this under USG guidance in bedside for patients who are unstable to be shifted to cath lab.
Providing an artificial support for breathing is called Mechanical Ventilation. It is given for patients with respiratory failure.

In SRH we provide all types of ventilator support like NIV, Invasive Ventilation, portable BiPap and advanced ones like prone ventilation and in very severe cases ECMO too.
