People who often go to the hospital will find that the prices of different wards are different. The general ward environment is not that good, and the patients are relatively complex and the number of people is large. A better ward has enough personal space and is not that noisy. The environment is relatively better. Therefore, many people will choose an expensive ward after getting sick. Of course, the price of ICU cannot be generalized with these ordinary wards. The so-called ICU is intensive care unit , and spending money here is like flowing water.
It cost tens of thousands of yuan in just a few days. What's going on?
1. The inspection cost is high.
. It is a critical moment of life and death. Serious diseases can take away the patient's life at any time, so they need closer care. 24 hours a day of continuous monitoring , so it also means that the condition is serious when you arrive at the ICU. The reason why I spent tens of thousands of yuan in just a few days is that the cost of examination is very high. Most patients entering here are complex and serious conditions, and they are life threatening at any time. In addition to being equipped with monitoring instrument , they also have to undergo various examinations at any time. Therefore, the amount spent under multiple examinations continues to rise.
2. Rescue
ICU is different from ordinary wards. As Intensive Care Unit , the price is also expensive because many patients are on the verge of death , so you must prepare to rescue at any time. If the signs of life are about to disappear and face various rescue treatments and measures, the money will usually be spent. Professional rescue and the use of various expensive equipment lead to high daily medical expenses for patients entering the intensive care unit.
3. Monitoring equipment is complex and
. The cost of various monitoring equipment in the ICU is relatively high. Most patients in ordinary wards do not need to monitor the dynamic changes of the body at any time. Even if they need to monitor the items, there are relatively fewer items. These cost consumables, costs, etc. are not that high. When you arrive at the intensive care unit, the condition is unstable and may change at any time. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor your physical condition at any time. The most basic monitoring items are essential. For some diseases, and multiple monitoring devices require at the same time, which will cost more money.
4. Medical staff invested a lot of energy
. It cost tens of thousands of yuan in just a few days to arrive at the intensive care unit. . Human resources cost is actually included. Doctors, including nurses, also invest a lot of energy in the rescue and treatment process, and are equipped with more medical staff than ordinary wards. Most ICU wards require a bed and a doctor and about three nurses . Some will also be equipped with rehabilitation therapist , which basically does not require the company of family members.
The only thing the family members do is to prepare money, which is carried out by professionals in all aspects from nursing to treatment, so the price is relatively expensive.
It can be seen from this that there is a reason why ICU is different from ordinary wards. Generally speaking, entering the intensive care unit means that doctors are racing against death.
