Intensive care
Intensive care, also known as critical care, is a specialized medical service provided to patients with life-threatening illnesses or injuries who require close monitoring and intensive medical intervention. The intensive care unit (ICU) is equipped with advanced medical technology and staffed by highly trained healthcare professionals to provide round-the-clock care to patients in critical condition. Understanding the purpose, procedures, and patient care in intensive care units is essential for patients, their families, and healthcare providers.
