Critical Care Units

Overview

Critical Care Units, also known as Intensive Care Units (ICUs), are specialized hospital units that provide intensive and specialized care for critically ill or injured patients. These units are designed to provide continuous monitoring and treatment for patients who require close attention from a team of highly trained medical professionals. Critical Care Units are typically staffed by a team of healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other support staff. The team works together to provide coordinated and comprehensive care for patients who require advanced medical treatments, such as mechanical ventilation, dialysis, or other life-sustaining interventions. Critical Care Units may be dedicated to specific patient populations, such as neonatal, pediatric, or adult patients. These units may also be designated for specific medical conditions, such as cardiac, neurological, or trauma patients.
