Day hospital
Most people visit doctors just for routine check-ups, but there are cases where an examination lasts longer because the diagnostic procedure is more complex, requiring the patient to stay at the healthcare facility for no more than twenty-four hours, but usually just a few hours.
At our healthcare facility, there is a day hospital with modern, well-equipped rooms for patients. Essentially, these are beds where patients can stay comfortably during the necessary examinations.
The reasons for keeping patients in the day hospital are diagnostic procedures as well as therapeutic procedures.
Day hospital services are available by appointment throughout the day. For more information, please contact our facility by phone.
The services we offer are as follows:
- Examinations and diagnostics
- Administration of prescribed therapy
- Minor procedures in the fields of surgery, urology, and dermatology
- Administration of injections and infusions
- Blood transfusions and blood derivatives
- 24-hour monitoring
- Advisory consultations and education
As we can see, for more complex examinations, day hospital beds are necessary due to the longer procedure required to obtain valid results. Sometimes, patients need to be mentally and physically prepared for certain examinations or may need to come accompanied by a family member. That’s why it’s very practical to rest after a demanding examination before the medical staff decides that the patient is ready to leave the healthcare facility.
Additionally, receiving prescribed therapy may require staying a certain number of hours in the day hospital to observe the patient’s reaction, such as when an infusion is administered, for example.
In surgery, there are minor procedures such as ingrown toenails or hairs, but these interventions usually require anesthesia, typically local. The patient’s condition must be monitored before they are allowed to return home.
Staying in the day hospital also means that in the event of complications or undesirable situations, immediate and timely action can be taken, as there is a full team of specialists and medical technicians present. This way, the risk of going home alone and something undesirable happening after a short or longer period (within a few hours, but less than a day) is avoided.
Our day hospital is equipped to ensure you feel as comfortable as possible, just like at home. The key features are friendliness, warmth, and, above all, the high professionalism and expertise of all members of the medical team.
If it’s determined that a stay longer than twenty-four hours is necessary, it is no longer considered a day hospital stay, but hospitalization or inpatient treatment.
There are situations where a patient needs to be monitored for twenty-four hours, usually after a procedure like surgery, where a longer hospital stay is unnecessary. For this reason, it’s beneficial to use day hospital services.
Continuous monitoring, observing the condition, and timely reactions to any problems – all of this means that you are in safe hands, and these services should be utilized.
