Protocol-Based, Targeted Critical Care for Respiratory Patients

At APIC, we offer a protocolised and aggressive approach to intensive care for patients experiencing severe or life-threatening respiratory conditions. Led by Dr. Asim Ahmed Qureshi (FRCP, MRCP UK, CCT UK), our intensive care unit is equipped with advanced monitoring systems, mechanical ventilators, and critical care protocols to handle acute respiratory failure and multi-organ complications with precision.

🫁 Who Needs Intensive Care?

Intensive care is provided to patients with potentially recoverable conditions that require:

• Continuous monitoring

• Advanced life support systems

• Specialized respiratory interventions

It is primarily designed for individuals experiencing organ failure, especially lungs, due to diseases like severe asthma, pneumonia, COPD exacerbation, COVID-19, or ARDS.

💡 Understanding Respiratory Failure

Respiratory failure is classified into:

• Type 1 – Hypoxia (low oxygen levels in the blood)

• Type 2 – Hypercapnia (elevated carbon dioxide levels)

Our team at APIC manages both types using:

• Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) – For moderate respiratory distress

• Invasive Mechanical Ventilation – For severe or unresponsive cases
