	INTENSIVE CARE - The specialty and its specialists
		As Intensive Care is multidisciplinary, and crosses the traditional boundaries of medical speciality groups, its practitioners must have a knowledge of some parts of these traditional specialities that is at least the equal of, and preferably superior to that of individuals from those specialities.
		Indeed, the application of evidence based medicine to both the time honoured and innovative techniques and therapies used in intensive care is a major challenge for the future as inappropriate therapies applied in intensive care units prolong dying and suffering are expensive and may deny access to the unit to more appropriate patients.
		The intensive care unit must not be isolationist but participate fully in the activities of other hospital groups and be represented in their clinical, administrative, research, and teaching activities.

	Intensive care medicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Intensive Care Medicine or critical care medicine is a branch of medicine concerned with the provision of life support or organ support systems in patients who are critically ill who usually also require intensive monitoring.
		Intensive care is usually only offered to those whose condition is potentially reversible and who have a good chance of surviving with intensive care support.
		In veterinary medicine, critical care medicine is recognized as a specialty and is closely allied with emergency medicine.

	Intensive Care Medicine
		Thus, a further 527 intensive patients (about 30%) from the cardiothoracic and vascular surgical operating rooms were cared for at the PACU (and thus in our own area), in addition to the intensive patients at the ICU 13B2.
		From the perspective of quality assurance, this was of great importance, because it signified a more extensive fulfillment of the intensive medical principle of continuous treatment from the operating room to the intensive care unit by the same team.
		At the cardiosurgical intensive care unit 13B2, the data obtained from the patient data management system PICIS could be used.

		Intensive Care Medicine or critical care medicine is a branch of medicine concerned with the provision of life support or organ support systems in patients who are critically ill who usually also require intensive monitoring.
		Patients admitted to the intensive care unit not requiring support for the above are usually admitted for intensive/invasive monitoring, such as the crucial hours after major surgery when deemed too unstable to transfer to a less intensively monitored unit.
		Ideally, intensive care is usually only offered to those whose condition is potentially reversible and who have a good chance of surviving with intensive care support.
