In the ICU, patients receive round-the-clock monitoring, including vital signs, oxygenation levels, and various physiological parameters. Advanced life support systems, such as ventilators, cardiac monitors, and infusion pumps, are used to maintain stability and support vital bodily functions.
The healthcare team in the ICU provides specialized medical interventions, including administering medications, managing pain, performing procedures such as intubation or central line placement, and ensuring optimal nutrition and hydration. They closely monitor patients' progress, adjust treatment plans as necessary, and work collaboratively to provide the highest level of care.
