Ward 20, Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit

The Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit consists of 11 acute ICU beds as well as four high dependency beds. Two of the 11 ICU beds are equipped with the capability of switching to negative pressure rooms with special anterooms for isolation cases as well as one room which can be converted to a positive pressure room that will enable the unit to support post heart transplantation patients.

It is also equipped with state of the art equipment and patient monitoring system and is the first ICU in Singapore to use the "Infusion Transfer Device" technology. This equipment will enable smooth transfer of critically ill patients with multiple infusions to different departments.
