Our intensive care unit (ICU) provides patients with the optimum level of attention that critically ill conditions require. State-of-the-art monitoring systems make it possible for our healthcare team to respond rapidly to patients' needs. Immediate life-sustaining action can be taken in response to medical emergencies through staff experience, life support equipment and the latest medications.
The care of patients evolves around physical, emotional and spiritual needs, with both patients and families directly participating in their individual plan of care.
ICU Telemedicine Pulmonary & Critical Care
Cuero Regional Hospital partners with Access Telecare, a division of SOC Telemed, to bring telemedicine pulmonary and critical care specialists to our patients. These highly trained specialists are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and work with our on-site nurses and physicians to care for patients requiring an ICU stay or critical care because of a serious infection, illness, or pulmonological conditions.
Partnering with Access Physicians helps us provide care here at Cuero and not have to transfer you to hospitals in different cities far away from family and friends.
A consultation with an Access Physicians telemedicine specialist works just as it would with one of our in-person physicians. They are on a large screen that we bring to the patient, accompanied by one of our nurses and/or physicians. You and your family interact with the physician in real-time via the telemedicine screen, and the physician will answer any questions you have about your care or treatment plan.
