Severe and critical patients are confronted with in each field of medicine. The Intensive Care Unit was commissioned as a result of the effort of the years in order to rescue the patients in this table. Intensive Care is a science which shows a multidisciplinary approach to the critical patients who are between life and death and in which the lifesaving methods are applied. The patients who cannot be unfortunately recovered despite all kinds of treatments are not considered as intensive care patients, but as of palliative care. Therefore, the beds of Intensive Care Units should be used for the patients who have chance to be rescued, not for the patients who at the end of life

There are enhanced monitors that provide following the patients closely, on the head of each intensive care bed. All monitors are connected to the central monitor on the nurse desk and they may be traced separately. Respiration support can be provided both invasively and noninvasively (mechanical ventilation) with a mask by means of the tubes that are placed into the trachea with the respiration equipment which are used in respiratory failure. The dialysis treatments that are used in kidney failure can be applied simply without moving the patients, by means of the bed-side systems. Advanced devices that can make hemodynamic measurements are available for the patients in shock status. These devices are utilized in treating particularly the patients with sepsis. In our unit the ultrasonography which ensures the safety of interventional procedures and an echocardiography device which enables the detailed heart assessment are available. Bronchoscopy is performed when the detailed respiratory system examination is necessary.

Intensive Care Units are the units where the critical patients are followed up by a team with special training, by using advanced and particular devices.

By means of the advanced monitors, we are able to follow up the critical patients closely and respond the life-threatening circumstances quickly. In case of acute deterioration of acute or chronic respiratory failure, life support can be given with respiratory equipment (mechanical ventilators). While the supplement treatment is proceeding, we utilize the pumps that enable us to administer the medications and liquids for treatment, in appropriate doses and at certain intervals. We provide shock management particularly in patients who are in shock, by means of the advanced devices which make hemodynamic measurements of blood pressure values and heart functions that we monitor with particular catheters. In case of kidney failure, which is frequently seen in intensive care, due to the increased toxins and liquid load in blood, the dialysis and ultrafiltration supports are provided.
