The ICU – Intensive Care Unit – of Hospital Samaritano do Rio de Janeiro has 10 beds with a modern and ergonomic design, to facilitate the work of physicians and nurses, and provide further comfort to patients and their relatives.

The ICU of Hospital Samaritano was the first one of the country to set up a vertical rule, that is, breathers, infusion pumps, oxygen level, artery pressure and heart beat monitors are connected to the metallic structure in the upper side of the beds. There is no wire on the ground. Each ICU’s box has an independent X-Ray panel. Individual sinks were created to further reduce the infection risk.

The central nursery station is strategically located at the unit’s center, allowing viewing all beds, in case of an emergency.

The extension of the treatment of the critical patient may be accomplished at the Intermediary Unit of Hospital Samaritano do Rio de Janeiro.
