The term "Intensive Care" refers to a specialized unit within a hospital or medical facility that provides high-level monitoring, treatment and support for patients with serious illnesses or injuries. The goal is to provide constant observation and immediate intervention when needed in order to stabilize the patient's condition and prevent complications. This type of care often involves advanced medical equipment such as ventilators, dialysis machines, and other life-support systems that are used to maintain vital functions until the patient can recover on their own or with less intensive treatment. The level of care provided in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is typically more intense than that found in a regular hospital room, as patients in ICUs often require constant monitoring and support from medical professionals.
