HDU Room
High Dependency Unit (HDU)
The High Dependency Unit (HDU) is a special department in a hospital that provides close monitoring and treatment for patients who need more care than a general ward but less than an Intensive Care Unit (ICU).Patients admitted to the HDU are usually in a serious condition but are stable.They require continuous observation and specialized nursing care.Doctors and nurses in the HDU monitor vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels regularly.Advanced medical equipment is used to ensure patient safety and comfort.The HDU helps in early detection of any sudden change in a patient’s condition.It is often used for patients recovering from major surgery or serious illness.The unit acts as a step-down facility for patients transferred from the ICU. Proper care and timely treatment in the HDU support faster recovery.Overall, the HDU plays an important role in providing intermediate and critical care services in a hospital.
