Numerous modern treatment procedures have only become possible thanks to medical advances in anesthesiology and intensive care medicine. Today, we can accompany you safely through operations and critical illnesses, even with advanced illnesses and in old age. Treatment in an intensive care unit is both physically and psychologically demanding for patients and their relatives, and we are aware of our responsibility towards you. Before and during your treatment, we discuss how best to act together with you.

Special treatment in an intensive care unit is often necessary not only after high-risk surgical procedures, but also in the context of serious internal illnesses, so that vital organ functions can be maintained or restored.

The Clinical Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine has a total of 14 beds on Ward 44 for all surgical and non-surgical departments at Hannover Medical School. In cooperation with the Clinical Department of Neurosurgery, we also have 7 additional intensive care beds available for patient care on Ward 34.

As relatives and visitors to our patients, you are always welcome to visit us. Joint nursing and medical rounds as well as diagnostic and therapeutic procedures take place mainly in the morning hours. To ensure that you can reach us in the best possible way, we have arranged visiting times for the intensive care unit.

Our visiting hours are daily between 14:30 and 19:00. We are available for a consultation at any time by special arrangement. During visiting hours, our physicians are also available for information and questions without an appointment.

In combination with our expertise in the field of pain therapy, we achieve the best possible care for our patients. Teamwork is important to us and contributes decisively to the success of the therapeutic efforts on our wards through dedicated cooperation between physicians, nursing staff and therapists.

The staff of the Clinical Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine are part of the in-house emergency team and ensure internal emergency care in the main MHH hospital. We are at your side when you need our help!

Modern treatment procedures and their further development require a continuous gain in knowledge.

We take part in intensive care research projects so that you as a patient can benefit as much as possible from modern treatment concepts. As a patient, you are the focus of our efforts, and with your support and help we are constantly developing intensive care medicine.
