nursing in critical care

Nursing in critical care involves caring for patients with severe, life-threatening conditions, often in specialized units like Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Critical care nurses monitor vital signs, administer medications, and use advanced medical equipment to support patients’ breathing, heart function, and other vital processes. They collaborate closely with doctors and other healthcare professionals to develop treatment plans and make quick decisions. These nurses provide not only medical care but also emotional support to patients and their families during stressful times, ensuring comprehensive attention to both physical and psychological wellbeing.
