the management of serious patients. These monitors
are also able to records information, specially
the cardiac rhythms of the patients that enable
the intensivist a retrospective study of the case.
The control monitor is an essential factor in
the ICU enabling the Intensivist to monitor every
single patient just sitting at his/her desk.

cases from sever heart failing, complete heart
block (requiring temporary pacing), chronic kidney
diseases, sever sepsis, COPD’s, multisystem
involvement requiring invasive monitoring like
Intrareterial Blood Pressure (IABP) or PCWP

capacity to provide invasive as well as non-invasive

in this field. Post-graduates in the field of
medicine and anesthesia assist him. Staff is well
trained, with repeated training provided to the
