critically ill patients

Critically ill patients are individuals experiencing severe health problems that significantly threaten their life or organ function. They often require intensive medical care and monitoring in specialized units called ICUs. These conditions can result from serious infections, trauma, or chronic illnesses worsening unexpectedly. Their health status is unstable, meaning their condition can change quickly, requiring constant assessment and advanced treatments like ventilators, medications, or life-support systems. The goal is to stabilize their condition, prevent complications, and support their recovery, often involving a team of specialists working together.
