	Intensive care medicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Intensive care medicine or critical care medicine is concerned with providing greater than ordinary medical care and observation to people in a critical or unstable condition.
		People requiring intensive care include those after major surgery, with severe head trauma, life-threatening acute illness, respiratory insufficiency, coma, haemodynamic insufficiency, severe fluid imblance or with the failure of one or more of the major organ systems (life-critical systems or others).
		Intensive care is only offered to those whose condition is potentially reversible and who have a good chance of surviving with intensive care support.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Arts reviews \| Robbie Williams, Intensive Care
		Intensive Care is his first album without longstanding co-writer Guy Chambers, and Williams' choice of replacement can hardly have quelled their anxieties.
		Intensive Care's first single, Tripping, is pretty skewed by mainstream standards, a melange of choppy ska guitars, falsetto vocals and Bollywood strings.
		The rest of Intensive Care, however, suggests that Williams' need to be loved has overridden any desire to venture further leftfield.
