The Intensive Care Unit - Cabell Huntington Hospital
Unexpected illnesses and accidents often require the transfer of a patient
to a facility that offers specialized care. Your loved one is being transferred
to Cabell Huntington Hospital for treatment, and we are honored to be
offered the opportunity to provide care. We are here to help not just the
patient, but the entire family in dealing with the circumstances that
brought you to our hospital. Please don’t hesitate to ask the nursing staff
for help with any of the details of your stay.
The Intensive Care Unit
Cabell Huntington Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit
provides specialized care for adults with serious
illnesses or injuries that require individualized medical,
surgical or heart care. The unit has large, comfortable
private rooms with flat screen televisions, wireless
internet access and floor-to-ceiling windows and a staff
of skilled and experienced registered nurses. Each room
is fully equipped with new electronic monitoring systems
and lifesaving emergency equipment.
Nurses keep patients' char ts updated using
computers located in every patient room or by using
terminals located outside every two rooms. The unit
has been redesigned to reflect a philosophy of
decentralized nursing, with smaller nurses' stations much
closer to the patients’ bedsides. The ICU also includes six isolation rooms for immune-compromised patients.
Consultation rooms and teleconferencing access are available. Several different waiting areas are available
for families of ICU patients and the largest waiting room has a kitchenette with a microwave oven and a
refrigerator for the convenience of family members.
