Critical Care Medicine
The medical professionals at Bayfront Health Spring Hill provide 24-hour monitoring and acute care for critically ill patients in our Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Patients have access to specialists in a range of disciplines who utilize advanced equipment and technology to provide quality care.
We understand that having a family member or loved one in the ICU can be difficult- that’s why our critical care team members are dedicated to keeping you informed and answering your questions.
Visting Information
In order to provide optimum care for our patients, we ask that visitors be immediate adult family members only (with a maximum of two visitors at a time). Children's visits are not encouraged and will be at the discretion of the attending nurse. Children under age 16 must have the approval of the primary nurse or physician before entering the ICU.
Visiting hours are 11 a.m.- 1 p.m., 4-6 p.m., and 8 -9 p.m.
In order not to distract from patient care, we limit the number of phone calls in the ICU. Please designate one member of your family as a contact with the hospital.
Because of the serious nature of the illnesses of our patients in ICU, we like to provide clergy support. Either an ICU staff member (at the family's request) or a family designee should notify patient clergy, unless the patient declines.
No flowers, candy, fruit or gifts are permitted in the ICU. Patients may have special dietary or fluid intake restrictions. There are no telephones in patient ICU rooms.
