An Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a specialized department in hospitals dedicated to the care of patients with severe and life-threatening illnesses or injuries. The ICU is equipped with advanced medical technology and staffed by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including intensivists, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other specialists. The environment is highly controlled, with continuous monitoring systems for vital signs, life support systems such as ventilators, and advanced diagnostic tools.
The medical staff in the ICU are trained to handle a wide range of critical conditions, including trauma, severe infections, respiratory failure, and post-operative complications. They work in close collaboration to develop and implement comprehensive treatment plans that address the complex needs of ICU patients.
