Intensive Care Unit Facility
The Intensive Care Unit facility at Paragon is staffed 24 hours a day with Vets and Nurses. We have 2 ICU clinicians and 2 nurses who work primarily in the ICU supported by other members of our wards and multidisciplinary team. The ICU is also supported by our intern team.
The ICU vets and nurses work closely with our other services to ensure a trans-disciplinary approach to the sickest patient so that they can receive the right care at the right time.
Facilities in the ICU include oxygen support, state of the art infusion pumps and syringe drivers to ensure accurate administration of medications and the ability to monitor and support the sickest pets. We are able to perform blood transfusions and other life-saving or emergency procedures. We have space for a maximum of 8 pets to ensure that we can dedicate the necessary time and support to them.
Our ICU nurses have additional qualifications including VTS-ECC and certificates in Emergency and Critical Care.
Our ICU clinicians are both Diplomates of the American College of Emergency and Critical Care.
