1. ABSOLUTE EOSINOPHIL COUNT
The test measures the number of eosinophils in the blood to assess immune system activity and detect various conditions.
No, fasting is not required for this test.
Elevated counts can be caused by allergic reactions, parasitic infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain cancers.
The test involves a simple blood draw, which may cause slight discomfort but is generally well-tolerated.
Results are typically available within a few hours to a day
2. Critical Care
Critical care, also known as intensive care, is specialized medical care for patients with life-threatening conditions that require comprehensive monitoring and treatment.
Conditions such as severe infections, respiratory failure, heart attack, stroke, major surgeries, traumatic injuries, and organ failure often necessitate critical care.
The critical care team includes intensivists, critical care nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and other specialized healthcare providers.
ICU equipment includes ventilators, monitors, infusion pumps, dialysis machines, and other devices to support and monitor vital functions.
Patients in the ICU are continuously monitored using advanced technology to track vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and respiratory rate.
3. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is a method of measuring blood pressure at regular intervals over a 24-hour period, typically using a portable device.
ABPM provides a more comprehensive assessment of blood pressure throughout daily activities and sleep, offering insights into variations that may not be detected in clinic settings.
ABPM is recommended for patients suspected of having white coat hypertension, masked hypertension, resistant hypertension, or fluctuating blood pressure patterns.
The patient wears a small cuff attached to a portable monitor that automatically inflates and records blood pressure at regular intervals, usually every 15-30 minutes during waking hours and less frequently during sleep.
Most patients find ABPM comfortable, as the device is lightweight and designed for minimal disruption to daily activities. The cuff may inflate periodically but does not cause pain.
