Intensive Care Medicine
Intensive Care Medicine is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and management of critically ill patients. It involves the use of advanced monitoring and life-support technologies to provide comprehensive care for individuals facing life-threatening conditions, such as severe infections, respiratory failure, or major trauma.
In an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), healthcare professionals, including intensivists, nurses, and respiratory therapists, work together to stabilize patients and support their vital functions. Treatment may include administering medications, providing mechanical ventilation, and performing various procedures to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients in critical situations.
