About Medical ICU
The medical ICU treats critically ill adults with serious infections, breathing failure, metabolic emergencies and organ failure, with continuous monitoring and organ support.
Early recognition of sepsis, with prompt antibiotics and fluids, improves survival. Families should expect regular updates from the intensivist.
