Overview
Critical care medicine is a medical specialty that deals with seriously or critically ill patients who have, are at risk or are recovering from conditions that may be life threatening. It includes providing life support, invasive monitoring techniques, resuscitation and end of life care. Critical Care area or Intensive Care Unit (ICU) operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Patients are admitted to ICU if their medical needs are greater than what the general hospital ward care provide. Such situations arise in cases of hemodynamic instability (hypertension/ Hypotension), respiratory compromise (ventilator support), acute renal failure, multi-organ failure, cardiac arrhythmias or even in crucial hours after major surgeries when the patient is deemed too unstable to be transferred to a ward.
