Patients who require critical care may have a wide range of medical conditions, such as sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), heart failure, stroke, traumatic injuries, and severe infections. These patients may require advanced monitoring and support, including mechanical ventilation, hemodynamic monitoring, and medication administration.
Critical care units, also known as intensive care units (ICUs), are specially designed hospital units that provide 24-hour care to critically ill patients. These units are equipped with advanced medical equipment and technology to support the patient’s vital functions, including monitoring devices, ventilators, and dialysis machines.
The goal of critical care is to stabilize the patient’s condition, prevent further deterioration, and ultimately, promote recovery. This requires a multidisciplinary approach that focuses on providing the best possible medical care, while also addressing the patient’s emotional and psychological needs.
