What is an ICU?
An Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a special hospital area for patients who are seriously ill or recovering from major surgery and need constant monitoring and support for breathing, heart or other vital functions. Patients are watched closely by doctors and nurses trained in critical care, with equipment that tracks their condition minute by minute.
Who needs it: severe infections, breathing failure, heart problems, major surgery or injury.
How long: from a day to several weeks, depending on recovery.
Families: kept informed regularly by the ICU team.

How ICU care works
From emergency to
recovery, step by step.
Each patient has a care plan reviewed by the critical-care team every day.
Emergency assessment
Doctors stabilise the patient with oxygen, fluids, medicines and urgent tests.
ICU admission
The patient moves to the ICU with continuous heart, BP and oxygen monitoring.
Daily care plan
Critical-care doctors, specialists and nurses review progress and adjust treatment.
Step-down & discharge
As the patient improves, they move to a ward and then home with a follow-up plan.
Specialists work together: the ICU team coordinates with physicians, surgeons, gynaecologists, nephrologists and other consultants, so patients get the right expertise without being moved.
