When you or a loved one needs critical care services, Roane Medical Center is here for you. We believe in prompt, efficient service. We understand patients in our intensive care area need specialized care – not only because they are very sick, but because their medical needs are unique.
We developed our Intensive Care Unit with our patients in mind:
-
Roane Medical Center has six private suites for persons with life-threatening conditions.
-
Treatment and progress are continually monitored. We offer 24-hour observation, joining skilled human care with the latest bedside technology.
-
Specially trained physicians, nurses and technicians provide state-of-the-art medical care. Nurses are trained in advanced cardiac life support.
-
Doctors are available around the clock to admit patients to Critical Care and provide consultations in cardiology and other specialties.
Visitor guidelines:
To help patients conserve strength and receive care without interruption, Roane Medical Center asks that family members and other visitors observe the visitation guidelines posted in the unit.
- Only two people may visit a patient at a time. Others are asked to wait in the ICU waiting room located near the Emergency Room waiting area.
- Flowers aren't allowed in ICU. Please do not order flowers, balloons, etc., for patients to be delivered to the ICU.
- Patients in ICU wear hospital gowns, so family members are asked to take the patients' clothing and valuables home.
- Our shifts change at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Please keep in mind that the time between 6:45 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. and 6:45 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. are busier times for our staff because they are receiving reports and assessing their patients – this is very important to their care.
- If you need to speak to the doctor or have any needs or expectations, please inform the nurse taking care of your loved one.
- Please contact the patient’s nurse with any problems or concerns you may have.
