Bed-space planning
Coordinate staff access, equipment footprints, patient transfer routes and observation from the nursing station. Review the proposed model of care with clinical stakeholders.
LAXAIR / SERVICES
ICU Setup & Critical Care Infrastructure
LaxAir plans hospital ICU setup around bed spaces, staff access, medical gas outlets, power, monitoring equipment and nursing workflows.
SERVICE SCOPE
ICU infrastructure services and scope
Bedside services
Align bed head panels, gas outlets, electrical supply, UPS interfaces and nurse call with the equipment schedule. Establish a consistent room data sheet for each bed type.
Environmental systems
Coordinate ventilation, lighting, privacy and finish selection. Isolation or other specialist rooms need a specific clinical and engineering brief.
Readiness coordination
Sequence equipment delivery, utility checks and operator familiarisation. Record the responsible vendor and acceptance requirements for each system.
THE BRIEF
ICU design that starts at the bedside
ICU
Bed positions are only the beginning of an ICU layout. The team also needs space for equipment, bedside procedures, staff circulation and observation. These requirements should be reviewed before furniture and service points are fixed.
We coordinate ICU interior design, bed head panels, medical gas pipelines, electrical points and HVAC interfaces within the agreed scope. NICU and PICU requirements can be discussed separately with the clinical team rather than treated as copies of an adult ICU.

PROJECT ANSWERS
Questions about icu setup & critical care infrastructure
Can ICU capacity be added within an existing building?
Feasibility depends on available space, access and infrastructure capacity. A survey and coordinated technical review are needed before confirming the scope.
What affects the cost of this work?
The area or quantities, existing conditions, selected materials and equipment, technical requirements and delivery scope determine cost. Share drawings and a clear brief for a project-specific proposal.
When should specialist coordination begin?
Start before final room layouts and procurement. Early vendor and engineering inputs help resolve service points, access and installation dependencies.
Which documents are included at handover?
Agree the required drawings, equipment information, test records and operating instructions in the scope. The exact deliverables depend on the systems and responsibilities involved.

What is included in ICU setup?
ICU infrastructure brings the bed space, medical utilities, electrical supply, equipment access and staff observation together. ICU room design begins with the intended model of care and the equipment used around each bed.
