Intensive Care Medicine

Hautepierre Hospital, Strasbourg

Our commitments to supporting you:

You or someone close to you has just been admitted to intensive care.

LifeMapp is designed to guide you through every stage of an intensive care stay and provide the information you need. Like a compass, it helps you find your bearings and move towards everyday life again. Developed by the One O One Endowment Fund, LifeMapp is available free of charge to units that request it.

Welcome

Dear Sir or Madam,

Someone close to you has been admitted to our unit for intensive monitoring and specialist treatment. 

Please be assured that the entire care team is doing everything possible to provide your loved one with the best possible care. 


This booklet has been prepared for you. It introduces the Intensive Care Medicine unit and provides practical information to make it easier to communicate with the care team. 


The team cares for adults with serious illnesses affecting vital organs such as the lungs, heart, kidneys, liver or brain. Different forms of organ support may be used depending on which organs are failing. 


Depending on your loved one’s condition, additional tests may be required, including bronchoscopy or gastrointestinal endoscopy, echocardiography, or imaging that requires medically supervised transfer to the hospital imaging department, such as CT or MRI.

We recognise how difficult this time is and are here to support you with compassion.

Our unit takes part in research groups working to improve care for intensive care patients.

Visits are possible at any time, but patient care always takes priority. If you have a fever, cough or cold, please wear a mask or postpone your visit. Children may visit with the care team’s prior agreement and appropriate preparation; they should not remain in the waiting room unless they have a direct connection with the patient. Mobile phones may be used in silent mode. Some items, including flowers, are not permitted for hygiene reasons, but you may bring small personal belongings. A board is available in the room for you to write down questions, messages and useful information for your loved one. Learn more

Children are welcome to visit, but visits need to be carefully planned. Please speak to the unit team to arrange one.
