What does the hospital icu mean?

ICU (abbreviation of intensive care unit) is the intensive care unit. With the development of medical nursing specialty, the birth of new medical equipment and the improvement of hospital management system, intensive care is a medical organization and management form that combines modern medical nursing technology. Only by concentrating critically ill patients in ICU and giving the best guarantee in manpower, material resources and technology can we get good treatment results. There is a central monitoring station in ICU, which can directly observe all the monitored beds. Each bed covers a wide area, and the beds are separated by glass or cloth curtains. ICU equipment must be equipped with bedside monitors, central monitors, multifunctional respiratory therapy machines, anesthesia machines, electrocardiographs, defibrillators, pacemakers, infusion pumps, micro-syringes, first-aid equipment for tracheal intubation and tracheotomy.
