In order to deliver high standards of patient care, Parkside Hospital operates a specialist four-bed Enhanced Care Unit (ECU) that provides level-two care on a planned, elective basis following surgery or for those patients whose clinical condition deteriorates unexpectedly.

The ECU can provide:

  • Emergency ventilation
  • Immediate blood gas analysis
  • Cardiac monitoring
  • Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) ventilation
  • Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure (BIPAP) ventilation.
