Intensive Patient Monitoring (24/7)
Some patients require continuous or frequent observation because their condition is unstable, changing, or at greater risk of complications.
At New Padre Garcia Hospital, intensive patient monitoring may be provided within the hospital’s available clinical, staffing, equipment, and unit capabilities.
The healthcare team may closely observe vital signs, consciousness, breathing, circulation, pain, fluid balance, treatment response, and other important indicators throughout the day and night.
Patients who require a higher level of intensive or specialized care beyond the hospital’s capacity may be stabilized and transferred to an appropriate healthcare facility.
