Critical care, also known as intensive care medicine, is the branch of medicine focused on treating patients with life-threatening illnesses or injuries who require close monitoring and organ support in an intensive care unit (ICU). Critical care physicians, nurses, and respiratory therapists manage conditions such as sepsis, respiratory failure, and post-surgical complications using advanced life-support technology. It requires rapid decision-making and specialized training in managing unstable, high-acuity patients.
