Our In-patient services run for 24 hours. These include Children and Adults’ admissions for both medical and surgical conditions. The average length of stay on the ward is 5 days.

Coronary Care Unit

Patients with heart attacks, unstable angina, cardiac dysrhythmia and various other cardiac conditions that require continuous monitoring and treatment are well taken care of in the Coronary Care Unit at UHI.

Cardiac Critical Care

Cardiac patients require high level full time one-to-one nursing, extensive advanced monitoring, multi-organ support and many an endless lists of supportive care needs.

Our Cardiac Critical Care service is responsible for fulfilling these needs by ensuring that there is appropriate equipment for critical care, treatment of patients, teaching residents/ fellows, and conducting research. All this makes the service costly in terms of equipment hence raising challenges of sustainability.

The Cardiac ambulance service is an Advanced Cardiac life Support (ALSL2-Advance Life Support Level 2 Emergency). It is a type of emergency service which provides at least three separate administrations of one or more medications by intravenous push/bolus or by continuous Infusion (excluding crystalloid fluids).
