critical care medications

Critical care medications are drugs used in hospitals to sustain life and support vital organ functions in seriously ill patients. These medications can regulate blood pressure, help breathe when the lungs can’t, control heart rhythms, treat infections with antibiotics, and manage pain or sedation. They are carefully administered by healthcare professionals, often in intensive care units, to stabilize patients until they recover or more permanent treatments are possible. These drugs are powerful and require close monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness.
