National
Intensive Care Week
7th
June 2022 – 12th June 2022
Intensive Care Units (ICUs) are specialist wards within hospitals that provide treatment and monitoring to the sickest of patients. Such areas are staffed by specially trained healthcare professionals and often contain sophisticated monitoring equipment. ICUs are also sometimes called critical care units (CCUs) or intensive therapy units (ITUs).
Intensive care treatment is needed if someone is seriously
ill and requires intensive treatment and close monitoring, or if they're having
surgery and intensive care can help them recover. People who are patients
within these areas, normally have issues with one or more of their organs, e.g.
they are unable to breathe on their own and therefore require the additional
medical care provided from an ICU.
The aim of National Intensive Care Week is to celebrate
the incredible work that happens in critical care; and to say thank you to
those professionals who work within such areas.
