Patients undergoing organ transplantation require highly specialised monitoring during the immediate post-operative period. Apollo Adlux Hospital provides a dedicated Transplant Intensive Care Unit (TICU) supported by transplant intensivists, anaesthesiologists, surgeons, specialised nurses and multidisciplinary clinical teams.

The TICU provides 24/7 monitoring of vital parameters, transplanted organ function, fluid balance, infection indicators and other critical clinical parameters following transplantation. Care is individualised according to the type of transplant, patient's underlying medical condition and recovery progress. The intensive care team works closely with transplant physicians and surgeons to identify and manage complications at an early stage. Strict infection-control practices are integral to transplant critical care because patients receiving immunosuppressive medication can be particularly vulnerable to infection.

Multidisciplinary Transplant Team

Organ transplantation involves coordinated care from several specialists. Depending on individual patient requirements, the transplant care team may include transplant surgeons, nephrologists, hepatologists, anaesthesiologists, intensivists, infectious disease specialists, radiologists, cardiologists, pulmonologists, pathologists, transplant coordinators, dietitians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and psychological support professionals.

This multidisciplinary model enables treatment decisions to be based on a comprehensive understanding of each patient's health and transplant requirements.
