Intensive Care refers to a specialized area in a hospital designed to provide comprehensive and continuous care for patients with severe or life-threatening conditions. This unit is equipped with advanced medical technology and staffed by a team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and respiratory therapists, who monitor patients closely and administer treatments as needed.
Patients in Intensive Care often require constant observation and support for vital functions such as breathing, circulation, and organ function. Common reasons for admission include major surgeries, severe infections, or traumatic injuries. The goal of Intensive Care is to stabilize patients and facilitate their recovery before transferring them to less intensive medical care.
