Medical Intensive Therapy Unit (MIT)
The special professional challenge!As a central facility of the University Hospital, we provide care for critically ill patients from all internal medicine disciplines, focusing on the care of patients with the most serious, often life-threatening illnesses. The wards are equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology, including ventilators and extracorporeal procedures such as ECMO or ECLS, and use the entire spectrum of diagnostics and therapy.
The well-being of our patients is at the heart of everything we do. Both our nursing and medical staff guarantee the highest quality of care around the clock. The excellent cooperation and communication within the interprofessional treatment team should be emphasized.
We offer nursing care staff the opportunity to participate in the many project groups on the topics of nutrition, mobilization, ECMO therapy or telephoning relatives.
We treat all patients requiring intensive care with internal diseases.
With regard to the treatment of heart disease, we are a supra-regional focus center, which is why we use Impella and VA-ECMO, for example. We treat patients with acquired or congenital heart disease (myocarditis, etc.) as well as patients listed as highly urgent for a heart transplant.
All conventional invasive and non-invasive forms of ventilation are used in respiratory therapy. In the event of particularly severe lung failure, we can partially or completely replace the lungs using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO center). In cooperation with the Department of Pneumology, we operate a center for ventilation weaning (weaning center).
