Intensive care refers to specialized medical treatment provided to patients with severe or life-threatening conditions. This type of care is typically delivered in a hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU), where patients are closely monitored and supported with advanced medical equipment. In the ICU, healthcare professionals, including doctors and nurses, work around the clock to manage complex health issues. Patients may receive treatments such as ventilators for breathing support or intravenous (IV) medications to stabilize their condition. The goal of intensive care is to provide critical support and improve the chances of recovery.
