Intensive Care and Critical Care

Intensive Care and Critical Care

Intensive care, also known as critical care, is a crucial element of the healthcare system. It includes specialized medical treatment and monitoring for patients with severe illnesses or injuries. Intensive care units (ICUs) are high-functioning sterile environments with multiple critical care equipment. Though the machines and activity level can be overwhelming, these units are responsible for saving many lives. ICUs are sometimes called critical care units (CCUs) or intensive therapy units (ITUs). Artificial intelligence with remote monitoring technologies and mobile ICUs have significantly contributed to intensive care for better patient outcomes.
