Critical care is a multidisciplinary healthcare specialty that provides care to patients suffering from life-threatening illnesses or injuries. As a patient, a family member, or a friend of a patient, the majority of us will face a catastrophic sickness or injury.
When a person’s life is in danger, critical care can be delivered at the scene of an accident, in an ambulance, in a hospital emergency department, or the operating room. The majority of critical care is now provided in highly specialized intensive care units (ICU).
Patients are rarely admitted to the critical care unit on their own. Instead, patients are frequently admitted from an emergency room or a surgical area, where they are treated and stabilized first. Critical care begins when the patient’s illness or injury continues throughout their hospitalization, treatment, and rehabilitation.
The requirement for patients with acute, life-threatening sickness or injury to be grouped into distinct parts of the hospital arose from a historical realization that their needs might be better met if they were grouped into specialized hospital regions. The advantages of establishing a distinct portion of the hospital for patients recovering from surgery were written about by Florence Nightingale.
Why Critical care considerably lowered in-hospital time and expenditures for patients with conditions including cerebrovascular insufficiency and lung malignancies between 1990 and today.
What are the most common illnesses and injuries that necessitate critical care?
Heart attacks, poisoning, pneumonia, surgical complications, premature birth, and stroke are all examples of critical illnesses. Trauma care entails the treatment of seriously injured people, whether from a car accident, gunshot or stabbing wounds, a fall, burns, or an industrial accident.
The treatment of patients with life-threatening disorders is referred to as critical care. Patients with mild injuries (sprained ankles, broken arms) to catastrophic issues such as heart attacks, knife or gunshot wounds, or drug overdoses are treated by emergency room physicians and nurses. Physicians and nurses at the Emergency Department stabilize patients before transporting them to the ICU or another hospital area for further treatment. Critical care experts, often in the ICU, provide long-term management of severely ill and injured patients.
