Critical care is a department that handles all emergency cases in a hospital. These emergency cases may include life-threatening conditions like heart attack, respiratory problem, accidental cases, and organ failure.

Intensive Care Unit is the core division of the critical care in a hospital, where a staff of trained nurses look after the patients under the supervision of the Medical Director. A Most Responsible Physician (MRP) is also appointed to primarily take care of patients. The MRP handles the critical cases under the supervision of the Medical Director.

All the health care professionals at ICU offers 24*7 services to save the lives of critically ill patients. They are highly trained to handle accidental, respiratory, cardiovascular, and organ failure patients with their dedicated approach.

A specialized team of healthcare professionals is appointed to handle all critical cases. All these critical cases are taken to a special ward called Critical Care Unit, which is equipped with advanced intensive care unit equipment and machines to support the human organ system.
