The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a specialized hospital department that provides close monitoring and life support for critically ill or injured patients. Staffed by intensivists, critical care nurses, and respiratory therapists, ICUs are equipped with advanced technology such as ventilators, cardiac monitors, and dialysis machines. Working in the ICU demands rapid clinical decision-making and the ability to manage unstable, high-acuity patients.
