Intensive Care Units (ICU)
An Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a specialized hospital area designed to provide intensive treatment and monitoring for patients with severe or life-threatening conditions. Patients in the ICU require close supervision, advanced medical equipment, and specialized staff like intensivists, nurses, and respiratory therapists. The goal is to stabilize, diagnose, and treat complex health issues such as critical infections, post-surgical recovery, or organ failure. The ICU offers continuous monitoring of vital signs, advanced therapies, and immediate access to emergency interventions, making it essential for patients needing the highest level of care during critical health situations.
