Critical illnesses and conditions often require intensive care, whether following surgery, a severe injury, or a life-threatening health episode. At Sakra World Hospital, we understand the complex and multifaceted nature of recovery from critical illnesses. Our Critical Care Rehabilitation Program is designed to help patients regain their physical, emotional, and psychological well-being after intensive care. With a patient-centered approach, advanced therapies, and a multidisciplinary team of experts, we are committed to helping patients recover fully and return to a higher quality of life after a critical illness or injury.

What is Critical Care Rehabilitation?

Critical care rehabilitation is a specialized recovery program to assist patients in regaining function, strength, and mobility after a critical illness, severe injury, or surgery. The rehabilitation process focuses on helping patients overcome the physical and psychological challenges they may face after spending time in an intensive care unit (ICU) or undergoing life-saving interventions.

Critical illness, prolonged hospitalization, and extended bed rest can lead to deconditioning, muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and other complications. Rehabilitation at this stage involves multidisciplinary care to restore functional independence, enhance mobility, prevent complications, and improve overall quality of life.

Critical Care Rehabilitation at Sakra

1. Post-ICU Recovery and Strength Building: After being in the ICU, patients often face deconditioning and muscle weakness. Our physiotherapists guide patients through gentle exercises and mobility training, helping them rebuild strength and prevent long-term complications. Respiratory Therapy: For patients who have experienced respiratory failure or prolonged mechanical ventilation, we offer breathing exercises and chest physiotherapy to enhance lung function and oxygen levels, improving overall respiratory health.
2. Pain Management: Effective pain control is essential for recovery. We combine medications, physical therapy, and relaxation techniques to manage pain while supporting participation in rehabilitation exercises.
3. Nutritional Support: Proper nutrition is vital for healing. Our dietitians provide personalized plans to ensure patients receive the necessary nutrients for muscle recovery, energy, and immune support, aiding in their rehabilitation process.
4. Psychological Support: Recovering from critical illness can lead to emotional distress, such as anxiety or depression. Our psychologists provide counseling and stress management techniques, ensuring emotional well-being is addressed alongside physical recovery.
