FAQs on ICU
One in two Australians will be treated in an intensive care unit, or ICU, at some point in their lives.
North East Health ICU Wangaratte director Professor David Tuxen explains what it is and what it does, and how it’s different to the emergency room.
ICU is the hospital ward where the most seriously ill patients go, often suffering from a life-threatening illness. They either need a life support system to stay alive or are at a high risk of needing one.
Prof Tuxen also discusses how to face the confronting situation of a loved one being in an ICU, the common conditions that lead to an ICU admission and what happens to a patient who has survived the ICU.
Also on the show this week:
- Listener calls including questions about coronary calcium scores, managing stress, lumbar pain, and healthy eating for those with Type 2 diabetes.
- Supplements to help relieve menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes.
