At Da Nang Hospital, the Department of Intensive Care and Anti-Poison is applying a comprehensive and advanced model of care for terminally ill patients, focusing on early rehabilitation right on the hospital bed. This model is especially useful for patients in critical condition, who need to be monitored, actively treated, and may not have regular family members by their side.
Doctor Ha Son Binh, Head of the Department of Intensive Care and Anti-Poison, shared: "The Department of Intensive Care and Anti-Poison often receives very serious cases. Therefore, in addition to intensive medical treatment, we find that mental care, bringing closeness and love to patients is also extremely important. The model of early rehabilitation at the hospital bed was born from that practical need."
The highlight of this model is the harmonious combination of health care and mental support. The team of doctors and nurses is not only dedicated to performing treatment procedures, but also spends time talking, encouraging, helping patients overcome difficulties, feeling cared for and shared. The department also proactively guides family members on how to care for patients in bed, encouraging family participation in the recovery process.
"We always take patients as the center, taking care of both physical health and mental health. At the same time, we launched a movement of closeness and love for patients, creating the best conditions for family members to help us take care of patients, helping them recover quickly," Dr. Binh emphasized.
The early bed recovery model is implemented in multi-specialty coordination, including important contributions from the Department of Rehabilitation. Experts, technicians, and nurses will directly perform rehabilitation exercises appropriate to the patient's condition, right on the hospital bed. In particular, this model also applies to patients who are using support devices such as airbikes and blood filters, and those who have difficulty self-moving.
According to the Department of Intensive Care and Anti-Poison, this method is especially effective in increasing exercise, preventing and treating complications such as ulcers caused by prolonged sleep. This is the first model applied at the hospital and will continuously be updated and innovated according to the progress of medicine to bring the best treatment results for patients.
