Critical Care
The areas of responsibility of the reanimation unit include: patient care, unit administration, education, research. In patient care practice; primary patient groups that are admitted to reanimation unit; are involve respiratory distress and mechanical ventilation requirement. This critical care condition includes the patients with trauma, intoxication, serious infection and sepsis, ARDS, shock, COPD, neuromuscular disorders, cerebrovascular pathologies and postoperative complications.
In the unit the therapic plan and care are organized by the staff anesthesiologist of the unit and are achieved by the residents.

The service also is responsible for the education of the physicians of various levels, nurses. Multiple important and urgent subjects enhance the education program such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, mechanic ventilation , acute respiratory failure, nosocomial infections, mechanical ventilation associated pneumonia, nutrition, smoke inhalation pulmonary mechanics and gas exchange, oxygen toxicity etc.
The basic topics of the research program are ARDS and alternative approach for mechanic ventilation and drug therapy, hemodynamic variations in sepsis and MODS, artificial airway procedures, nutritional alternatives in critical care and sedation/analgesia in critical care patients and cost effects in critical care therapies.
