Visiting guidelines for Intensive Care Units (ICUs)

Visiting a loved one in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) can be a sensitive and critical time. To ensure the safety and well-being of both patients and visitors, Sarv Multispeciality Hospital has established visiting guidelines for the ICU. These guidelines aim to create a conducive environment for patient recovery while respecting the privacy and needs of other patients in the unit. Please adhere to the following guidelines when visiting the ICU:

  • Visiting Hours : ICU visiting hours may be limited to specific times to allow for uninterrupted patient care. Please check with the hospital for the designated visiting hours and follow them accordingly.
  • Visitor Limit : Due to the nature of intensive care, the number of visitors allowed may be restricted to ensure a calm and controlled environment. Please respect the visitor limit set by the hospital and coordinate with other family members or friends to plan your visit.
  • Health and Hygiene : Before entering the ICU, ensure that you are in good health and free from any contagious illnesses. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water or use hand sanitizers provided at the designated areas. It is important to maintain proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of infections.
  • Protective Gear : Depending on the patient's condition and the hospital's policy, you may be required to wear protective gear such as masks, gowns, gloves, or shoe covers before entering the ICU. Follow the instructions provided by the hospital staff to ensure the safety of both patients and visitors.
  • Respect Privacy : The ICU is a sensitive and private area where patients require focused care and attention. Respect the privacy and dignity of all patients by keeping noise levels to a minimum and refraining from discussing personal or confidential matters in the presence of other patients or their families.
  • Follow Instructions : Follow any specific instructions provided by the hospital staff regarding visitation, interactions with the patient, or the use of medical equipment. These instructions are in place to ensure the well-being and recovery of the patient and must be strictly adhered to.
  • Children and Pets : Due to the potential risk of infection and the sensitive environment of the ICU, it is generally advised to avoid bringing children or pets into the ICU. However, exceptions may be made under specific circumstances, so it is important to consult with the hospital staff beforehand.
  • Emotional Support : Provide emotional support to the patient and their immediate family members during your visit. However, be mindful of the patient's condition and follow the guidance of the healthcare team regarding the appropriate level of interaction and emotional support.
  • Restricted Items : Certain items such as flowers, food, beverages, and personal belongings may be restricted in the ICU. Please check with the hospital staff regarding any specific restrictions to ensure compliance.
These visiting guidelines are put in place to maintain a safe and conducive environment for patient care in the ICU. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in following these guidelines, as they contribute to the well-being and recovery of the patients. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to seek assistance from the hospital staff.
