Description: Intensive Care refers to a set of specialized medical services aimed at the care of patients with severe or potentially life-threatening illnesses. This type of care is characterized by constant monitoring of vital signs, administration of complex treatments, and the use of advanced technology to ensure patient stability. In an intensive care unit (ICU), highly trained medical staff, including intensivists, specialized nurses, and other healthcare professionals, work as a team to provide comprehensive and personalized management. The ICU is equipped with devices that allow for mechanical ventilation, intravenous medication administration, and continuous monitoring of parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation. The importance of Intensive Care lies in its ability to intervene in critical situations, where time and precision are essential to save lives. Additionally, the goal is not only to stabilize the patient but also to facilitate recovery and minimize long-term sequelae. This multidisciplinary approach and personalized care are fundamental to improving clinical outcomes and the quality of life for patients requiring this level of medical attention.
