Critical Care Anesthesia

Critical Care Anesthesia is a specialized field within anesthesiology that focuses on caring for patients who are critically ill, especially those who need surgery or procedures. Anesthesiologists in this area not only manage anesthesia during operations but also closely monitor and support vital functions like breathing and heart rate in severely injured or ill patients. They work in intensive care units (ICUs) and collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care, addressing both pain management and the complex medical needs of patients facing life-threatening conditions.
