Intensive care

The Intensive Care unit is located on the ground floor of the San Giacomo Hospital, and has 8 beds, 6 of which can function simultaneously; 4 are located in an open space area while the other 4 are in closed rooms, suitable for longer stays or for patients in isolation.

Due to the complexity of the conditions treated, the ICU team collaborates with other specialists, such as cardiologists, internists, surgeons, neurologists, gastroenterologists, hematologists, infectious disease specialists, physiatrists, physical therapists and others.

Since 2003, the Intensive Care Unit is a member the Italian Group for the Evaluation of Interventions in Intensive Care (GiViTI), which aims to improve the level of care through the epidemiological control of the results achieved year after year. All data are collected in compliance with current legislation on privacy and processing of sensitive data and with the approval of the Ethics Committee. The contact person for the project is the Head of the Intensive Care Unit, who is available by appointment to provide information on this topic.
