The Critical Care Department typically offers a range of services, including the management of ventilators, advanced monitoring, hemodynamic support, and treatment for various critical conditions.
Emergency Medicine focuses on initial assessment and stabilization of patients in acute conditions, while Critical Care Medicine involves ongoing, comprehensive care for patients with severe or life-threatening illnesses.
The Critical Care Team plays a crucial role in coordinating and delivering specialized care to critically ill patients. This includes monitoring vital signs, administering medications, and responding to changes in the patient's condition.
