About Surgical ICU (SICU)
Medically reviewed by Dr. M A Vijay Prakash, Emergency Physician · Updated 9 October 2026
The Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) at Iswarya Hospital looks after patients in the critical hours and days after major surgery. Close monitoring in this period catches problems such as bleeding, infection or breathing difficulty early, when they are easiest to treat.
The unit is staffed by intensivists and surgical teams working together, with pain management, physiotherapy and nutrition support built into every patient's recovery plan.
