Critical and Intensive Care Nursing encourages specialist nurses to provide exceptional care to critically ill patients. Intensive care Nursing is a branch of nursing that focuses on providing the best possible care to critically ill or unstable patients who have had major injury, surgery, or are suffering from life-threatening diseases. These healthcare professionals typically look after critically ill patients who require endotracheal intubation and/or titratable vasoactive intravenous medication or mechanical ventilation. General intensive care units, surgical intensive care units, medical intensive care units, cardiothoracic intensive care units, trauma intensive care units, coronary care units, burns units, pediatrics, and some trauma center emergency departments are all places where critical care nurses can be found.
