When should you consult?

Consult a critical care specialist when you need an ICU treatment plan explained or independently reviewed, or when a family member discharged from intensive care needs a recovery plan. For any acute deterioration at home, call 108 immediately - online consultations are for guidance, not emergencies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a critical care specialist do?

Critical care (intensive care) specialists manage seriously ill patients in ICUs - severe infections, breathing failure, organ support and post-surgical intensive care - and guide recovery after critical illness.

How can an online consultation help if ICU care is in-person?

Families use online consultations to understand a relative's ICU condition and reports in plain language, ask about the treatment plan, and take second opinions. After discharge, the specialist guides rehabilitation and medicine tapering.

What is post-ICU recovery like?

Recovery after critical illness takes weeks to months - weakness, poor appetite, sleep disturbance and low mood are common and improve with structured rehabilitation. Online reviews help track progress and catch complications early.

When should a discharged patient return to hospital urgently?

New breathlessness, fever that keeps rising, drowsiness or confusion, chest pain, or drain and wound problems need urgent in-person review - call 108 rather than waiting for a scheduled online follow-up.
