HDU

Manipal Hospital’s High Dependency Unit (HDU) services bridge the gap between regular wards and critical care units by offering improved care for patients who need close monitoring and assistance. Patients who are stable but require ongoing monitoring because of complicated or post-operative requirements are served by HDUs.

  • Continuous Monitoring: Regular tracking of vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation.
  • Enhanced Nursing Care: Higher nurse-to-patient ratio for dedicated attention.
  • Postoperative Care: Monitoring and support for patients after complex surgeries.
  • Step-Down Care: Transitional support for patients moving from ICU to general wards.
  • Intravenous Medication: Administration of medications requiring close monitoring.
  • Respiratory Support: Oxygen therapy and non-invasive ventilation for stable patients.
  • Patient and Family Education: Information on treatment, recovery, and follow-up care.
