On December 25, 2024, after a major overhaul and re-equipment, the St. Petersburg City Hospital of St. George opened a high-tech intensive care unit for cardiology patients equipped with the MVS software and hardware complex.
MVS digital resuscitation allows you to record from surveillance cameras and bedside equipment, along with digital patient vital signs, continuously 24/7 from intensive care units, with subsequent archiving.
In addition, the program allows you to accumulate information from artificial lung ventilation, infusion pumps, and other devices. The digital complex coordinates the electronic appointment sheet, nurse’s work sheet, and management of invasive devices. The automated collection of this reporting is stored on the medical organisation’s server. On-call doctors can switch between patients, view their history, and monitor online broadcasts using the integrated player.

Head of the Department of cardioreanimation of St. George City Hospital
In most of our country's intensive care units, patient monitoring is done visually: medical staff sits at a table, and there are 5 or 6 patient beds in front of the table. We don't need this. In addition to direct contact, we can monitor the patient through video cameras and surveillance monitors.
Igor Ivanov
Deputy Chief Medical Officer of St. George City Hospital
Every year, we treat approximately 6,200 cardiology patients. These are severe patients. We had 2,000 patients pass through our intensive care unit. However, we were unable to achieve the high level of care that our patients deserved. We had an intensive care unit, but it was small and outdated. It was unable to meet the needs of our hospital. Therefore, it was crucial to create a high-quality and modern intensive care unit. Building an intensive care unit is a challenging task, starting with the design and concept. The rules must be followed. The idea of providing medical care must be implemented correctly. We have managed to create a system where the wards can be isolated if necessary. At the same time, there is a passageway for medical staff to access the patient as quickly as possible. This is an important component of the intensive care unit.
The intensive care unit has 17 beds with 2-3-bed rooms. There are 75 units of the latest medical equipment.
Valeriy Strizheletskiy
Chief medical officer in St. George City Hospital
The opening of a new cardiothoracic intensive care unit is an event in our city's medical community. For our team, it is an opportunity to provide care not only for patients with cardiovascular diseases, but also for a wide range of complex and common conditions. This project would not have been possible without the participation and support of the city government, the Legislative Assembly, the Health Committee, and our hospital's staff. It is crucial for me that our employees have a comfortable working environment. Safety and reliability are integral parts of this project.
Alexandr Belskiy
Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg
We discussed this last year, when the issue of reconstructing this department was raised. We understood how many people would receive qualified medical care. We also understood how much better and more efficiently we could work in these conditions. I sincerely congratulate not only your hospital, but also all the residents of St. Petersburg.
The opening of the intensive care unit was attended by Oleg Nikolaevich Ergashev, Vice Governor of St. Petersburg, Alexander Nikolaevich Belsky, Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, and Valery Viktorovich Strizheletsky, Chief Physician of the hospital.
St. George Hospital in St. Petersburg is a multidisciplinary hospital with a capacity of 865 inpatient beds and 55 intensive care unit beds. The cardiology department of the hospital is one of the largest in the north of St. Petersburg. Every year, it saves thousands of lives by helping patients with urgent diseases of the cardiovascular system, as well as routine care.
