Nursing (Critical Care Nursing)

Critical care nursing is a specialized area of nursing that focuses on caring for patients with severe, complex, or life-threatening conditions. These nurses work in intensive care units (ICUs) and use advanced skills and equipment to monitor vital signs, administer medications, and provide ongoing assessments. They collaborate closely with doctors to develop and implement treatment plans, ensuring patients receive continuous, expert care during their most critical moments. Their responsibilities include managing ventilators, addressing complications, and offering emotional support to patients and families. Critical care nurses are essential for stabilizing and recovering patients with urgent health needs.
