Approximately 250,000 patients are admitted to Intensive Care in the UK every year.
Intensive Care Units (ICU) are specialised areas within a hospital. They look after patients whose conditions can be life-threatening and need constant, close monitoring and support from highly trained staff, specialist equipment and medication. There are many reasons why people may need care in ICU; These range from a planned admission for observation following a major operation, to supporting the function of major organs such as the lungs, heart and kidneys following a sudden illness or accident.
