The outpatient clinic of the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Beijing Tongren Hospital is open to escort the long-term prognosis of patients with acute and critical diseases

Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned from Beijing Tongren Hospital that recently, the outpatient clinic of the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Beijing Tongren Hospital was opened to escort the long-term prognosis of patients with acute and critical illness.

The opening of the Intensive Care Medicine Clinic is based on clinical needs. On the one hand, the comprehensive assessment and management of severely ill patients before transferring to the ICU is closely related to intraoperative safety and postoperative recovery; on the other hand, patients after transferring out of the ICU often have different degrees of physiological and psychological problems, the long-term survival rate is not optimistic, and even family members are prone to psychological problems. Studies have shown that more than 50% of ICU transfer-out patients need professional guidance and treatment. Therefore, focusing on the long-term prognosis of patients transferred out of the ICU has become a new focus of intensive care medicine.

The diagnosis and treatment of the intensive care medical clinic of Beijing Tongren Hospital includes: comprehensive assessment of critically ill perioperative patients (pre-hospitalization, preoperative and post-discharge) patients in various disciplines; professional guidance on the physiological, psychological, rehabilitation, nutrition, infection prevention and control of patients transferred out of the ICU; daily management of various medical tubes such as nasogastric tubes, PICC, drainage tubes, traches cannula, fistula, etc.; management of oxygen therapy and non-invasive ventilators.

The Department of Critical Care Medicine of Beijing Tongren Hospital has been established for nearly 30 years, with a skilled and experienced medical team, which treats a large number of critically ill patients every year, and treats more than 1,800 patients a year, involving critically ill patients in various operating departments and internal medicine systems. With the increasingly obvious aging of China's population and the increasing number of elderly patients with chronic and severe diseases, it is urgent to need professional support and long-term management in critical care medicine. The medical team of Tongren Critical Care Medicine Department is committed to inpatient treatment in the ICU for acute and serious illness and management of chronic and serious illness in the ICU outpatient clinic, so that the outpatient clinic of the Department of Critical Care Medicine can become an important part of protecting the life and health of patients.

Outpatient visits from the Department of Critical Care Medicine are available every Tuesday from 13:00 to 17:00

Place of visit: Beijing Tongren Hospital Yizhuang Branch Outpatient Building 3rd Floor Surgery 2 Clinic Area 5 Consultation Room
