We provide critical care departments at Lincoln County Hospital and Pilgrim Hospital, Boston which care for hundreds of seriously ill patients a year and provide very specialised skills.
Patients tend to be admitted after surgery or following an accident or severe illness. They may be unable to breathe on their own or have multiple organ failure. Critical care beds have specialist monitoring equipment and patients requiring intensive care receive one-to-one care, high dependency patients are cared for on a two patients-to-one nurse basis.
The Critical Care Units at Lincoln and Boston part of the East Midlands Critical Care Network, which also includes hospitals in Leicester, Mansfield, Derby, Burton on Trent and Nottingham.
