Respiratory Support
Non-invasive ventilation (BiPAP, CPAP, HFNC). Mechanical ventilation (advanced lung-protective strategies). Prone positioning for ARDS. Emergency airway management and intubation. Percutaneous tracheostomy. Bedside bronchoscopy.
Critical Care Medicine
Comprehensive, evidence-based critical care delivered by specialist intensivists around the clock, supported by advanced ventilatory and organ-support technologies, ensuring prompt and effective management of sepsis, acute respiratory failure, multi-organ dysfunction, and complex post-surgical critical illness.
About Department
The Department of Critical Care Medicine at PB Health operates as a fully equipped, high-acuity intensive care unit (ICU) dedicated to the recognition and management of life-threatening organ dysfunction and critical illness. Care is delivered through structured, protocol-driven pathways supported by advanced life-support systems, continuous haemodynamic and respiratory monitoring, and round-the-clock intensivist supervision.

Integrated Critical Care Model
The ICU at PB Health operates under a closed, multidisciplinary care model in which dedicated intensivists lead a team of critical care nurses, respiratory therapists, clinical pharmacists, dietitians, physiotherapists, and speciality consultants working in close coordination.
Each patient follows a structured, goal-directed ICU care pathway incorporating daily clinical reassessment, lung-protective ventilator strategies, sedation and analgesia titration, infection prevention bundles, and early rehabilitation and mobilisation where clinically appropriate.
Clinical Focus Areas
- Sepsis and septic shock
- Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and respiratory failure
