Head: Michaela Huber

The aplasia station with 12 beds is used to treat patients with severe and long-term (artificially induced) suppression of the body’s own defence (immunosuppression). This includes in particular patients who suffer from acute leukaemia and need long-term aplasmic chemotherapy or patients who suffer from multiple myeloma, lymph node cancer, etc. and who can benefit from high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplantation.

Offers for our patients:

Our patients often have to expect to stay in the ward for several weeks, but due to the weakened immune system they have no opportunity to leave the ward. In order to make your stay as varied and pleasant as possible, the following offers are available:

  • Lounge: Here our patients can take their meals outside their own room. Drinks and snacks (chips, yoghurt, fruit, soleti) are available to patients free of charge. The room is also used for conversations with visitors.
  • Physiotherapy: Targeted exercises (passive and active) can help to avoid pneumonia, contractions and decubiti. support the gentle muscle building after a physical weakening. The ergometer is available to our patients at any time.
  • Psycho-oncological care: The often longer stay also means an emotionally deprived time for the patients. In order to support mental well-being, our psycho-oncologist offers individual discussions as well as relaxation exercises (in a group or alone).
  • Pastoral care: In difficult phases of life, many people turn increasingly to faith. Also on our ward it is possible to provide representatives of all world religions for discussion for our patients if necessary.
  • Laptop: On request, if a patient wants to watch DVD, two laptops are also available
  • TV: Each bed has its own TV with teletext and radio – with and without headphones.

Information for visitors:

  • During the visit / infiltration: Due to the severely restricted immune defence of our patients, special hygiene measures are necessary. Our staff will explain all the necessary measures on your first visit and will be at your disposal for any questions you may have.
  • Bringing items: Here too, special guidelines apply. Please contact the station: Tel. : +43 (0) 57255 -25917
  • Bringing food: is generally not allowed, as many foods can seriously damage the health of patients. Our patients have three menus, an additional menu and individual nutritional advice at their disposal. Further information can be found in the information folder or inquire from the staff.

The infectious ward with 4 beds is a special facility of the 3. Medical University Hospital. The relevant diseases treated there have different demands on care and are mainly recruited from three areas:

  1. Patients who require specialized, specialist-infectiological expertise in inpatient care, but for whom no special isolation facilities are required (e. g. malaria, HIV-infected)
  2. Patients who, for hygienic reasons, have to be separated (insulated) from the other patients in the care area, but who can also be cared for in other single rooms of each clinic on the premises without special room-technical measures (e. g. infectious diarrhoea diseases)
  3. Patients with highly contagious diseases requiring strict isolation, who need special spatial and room-air-technical measures to isolate them (e. g. Inpatient chickenpox, measles or open tuberculosis)

To care for the last group of patients, the ward is equipped with air-filtered vacuum rooms and anti-locked locks, such as those used in the past. e. g. for the supply of the measles epidemic in 2008 or 2009 in the pandemic influenza in the initial phase. Due to the design as a single room, various of these diseases can be treated side by side without endangering the patient.

A palliative ward is an independent, hospital-connected or integrated ward.

The palliative station at III. Medicine was established on 1 April 1994. 2008 in the context of a celebration with the Landeshauptfrau Mag. Gabi Burgstaller and the Salzburg Archbishop Dr. Alois Kothgasser opened with 6 beds, including 2 twin rooms and 2 single rooms. In addition to various other rooms (station base, a common room for relatives and patients, a meditation room with a piano and an examination room), a beautiful large wooden terrace completes this very friendly equipped small department.

What is palliative medicine?

The palliative ward is always attached to a hospital and strives to improve the quality of life of patients at a far advanced stage of an incurable disease. All existing resources of the hospital are used to increase the well-being of the patients. Priority is given to the fight against pain, shortness of breath, surgical interventions such as stent removal, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, logotherapy, psycho-oncology, social assistance, etc.

In this sense, it differs from the activities of a hospice, which accompanies the patients in their final phase of life. Through the intensive care we want to accompany the patients on the way to their normal life and enable them to return home with possible aids such as home nursing, 24 hours care and the mobile palliative team or to release them to self-employment. However, we also take care of being admitted to a nursing home or hospice together with our social workers.

The maximum length of stay is 2-3 weeks.
