Critical Care Services
Centinela Hosptial’s Critical Care Services Unit provides constant
complex health care for various acute life-threatening conditions for
medical, coronary and surgical patients. Our Critical Care Units are staffed
with highly trained and qualified Board Certified intensive care physicians,
registered nurses, technicians and support staff. We have a wide range
of advanced monitoring and resuscitation equipment in each unit and will
provide you with prompt, high quality medical care. Our staff work collaboratively
with your primary care physician to determine the best treatment options
and make arrangements for appropriate follow up care.
The critical care physicians of Centinela Hospital Medical Center are based
at the hospital full-time and make rounds according to patient needs.
Doctors are always available when you need them and can provide prompt
care and scheduling of tests and treatments.
The high level of care that we provide directly results in better patient
outcomes. Patients who enter into our Emergency Department with blocked
arteries are immediately sent to our
Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) and have the restoration of the flow of blood to their heart within 90
minutes after the first contact with paramedics. This meets or exceeds
ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) guidelines for heart attack patients established by the American Medical
Association.
