FAQ
1) What is Critical Care?
Critical care, also known as intensive care, is specialized medical care for patients with life-threatening conditions. It involves continuous monitoring, advanced medical support, and life-saving interventions provided in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
2) When is Critical Care needed?
Critical care is required for patients with severe illnesses or injuries, such as:
Severe infections (sepsis)
Respiratory failure (e.g., due to COVID-19 or pneumonia)
Heart attacks or cardiac arrest
Trauma or major surgeries
Organ failure requiring ventilator support or dialysis
3) What equipment is used in Critical Care?
Common equipment in an ICU includes:
Ventilators (for breathing support)
Monitors (to track heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels)
4) How is a patient’s condition monitored in Critical Care?
Patients in the ICU are continuously monitored using advanced medical equipment. Doctors and nurses assess vital signs, lab reports, imaging tests (X-rays, CT scans), and patient responses to treatment around the clock.
5) What is the survival rate for ICU patients?
The survival rate depends on the severity of the illness, the patient’s overall health, and response to treatment. While many patients recover, others may require long-term rehabilitation or palliative care. Early intervention and high-quality ICU care improve survival chances.
