Only immediate family members (spouse, parents, children over 15 years old, and siblings) are allowed to visit.
Family members of patients in the intensive care unit are admitted to the patient's room accompanied by healthcare personnel or a guide.
For effective communication, please provide the intensive care nurse with the active phone numbers of at least two people. In case of changes in your patient's condition, transfer to another institution or unit, or any need for your patient to be met from outside the hospital, you will be contacted using the phone number you provided. Our physicians are only obligated to provide information about the patient's general condition and the course of the illness to immediate family members.
No information is provided on weekends and public holidays unless there is a special circumstance. During night shifts and on weekends, if information needs to be provided, it will be given by the on-call specialist physician.
INTENSIVE CARE UNIT GUIDELINES
Do not make unnecessary or persistent requests for visits outside of visiting hours.
Ensure hand hygiene by using alcohol-based hand sanitizer when entering and exiting the Intensive Care Unit.
If necessary and recommended, you must wear the protective gown, mask, cap, and gloves provided by healthcare personnel during your visit.
Wash your hands before and after each visit, remove any protective equipment you have worn, dispose of it in the trash can at the exit, and clean your hands with hand sanitizer.
Avoid close contact with your patient (such as hugging and kissing), as this can spread infection (germs). Let's remember that we all share responsibility in preventing hospital-acquired infections.
Do not touch other patients, patient care materials, or medical devices other than your own patient.
Do not bring food or drinks from outside when visiting a patient.
Do not give your patient any food items without the knowledge of the nurse responsible for your patient in the intensive care unit. Sitting on the patient's bed is prohibited. Please do not use mobile phones or similar devices during your visits. Speaking loudly, allowing the patient to speak on their mobile phone if they are conscious, and taking pictures or videos of the patient or the intensive care unit with your phone are prohibited during your visit. Please do not wait at the entrance of the intensive care unit before or after your visit; please wait in the waiting room.
Thank you for your cooperation in taking these precautions to protect the health of your patient and yourselves.
