High Dependency Unit (Covid)




High Dependency Unit (Covid)
This 5 bedded unit is reserved for acutely ill medical patients that require closer observation than the general ward can offer. All 5 beds allow for respiratory support, emergency ventilation, cardiac monitoring and other vital support should the patient’s condition deteriorate.
As with the Intensive Care Unit, the HDU unit has a Negative Air Pressure system, which reroutes infected air away from other patients and hospital staff.
