[[File:Respiratory therapist.jpg|thumb|ICU patients often require [[mechanical ventilation]] if they have lost the ability to breathe normally.]]
An '''intensive care unit''' ('''ICU'''), also known as an '''intensive therapy unit''' or '''intensive treatment unit''' ('''ITU''') or '''critical care unit''' ('''CCU'''), is a special department of a hospital or health care facility that provides [[intensive care medicine]].

Intensive care units cater to patients with [[Medical emergency|severe or life-threatening]] illnesses and injuries, which require constant care, close supervision from life support equipment and medication in order to ensure [[human homeostasis|normal bodily functions]]. They are staffed by highly trained [[Intensivist|physicians]], [[Critical care nursing|nurses]] and [[respiratory therapists]] who specialize in caring for critically ill patients. ICUs are also distinguished from general hospital wards by a higher staff-to-patient ratio and access to advanced medical resources and equipment that is not routinely available elsewhere. Common conditions that are treated within ICUs include [[acute respiratory distress syndrome]], [[septic shock]], and other life-threatening conditions.

Patients may be referred directly from an [[emergency department]] or from a ward if they rapidly deteriorate, or immediately after surgery if the surgery is very invasive and the patient is at high risk of complications.<ref>((cite web | url= http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-an-icu.htm | title = What is an ICU | website = wiseGEEK | publisher = Conjecture Corporation | location = Sparks, Nevada | last = Smith | first = S.

== History ==
((See also|Intensive care medicine))
In 1854, [[Florence Nightingale]] left for the [[Crimean War]], where [[triage]] was used to separate seriously wounded soldiers from those with non-life-threatening conditions.

Until recently,((when|date=October 2014)) it was reported that Nightingale's method reduced mortality from 40% to 2% on the battlefield. Although this was not the case, her experiences during the war formed the foundation for her later discovery of the importance of sanitary conditions in hospitals, a critical component of intensive care.

In 1950, [[anesthesiologist]] [[Peter Safar]] established the concept of advanced life support, keeping [[patient]]s sedated and ventilated in an intensive care environment. Safar is considered to be the first practitioner of intensive care medicine as a speciality.

In response to a [[polio]] [[epidemic]] (where many patients required constant ventilation and surveillance), [[Bjørn Aage Ibsen]] established the first intensive care unit globally in [[Copenhagen]] in 1953.<ref>((citation |last=Reisner-Sénélar |first=L. |title=Der dänische Anästhesist Björn Ibsen ein Pionier der Langzeitbeatmung über die oberen Luftwege |work=Doctoral Thesis |year=2009 |url=http://d-nb.info/999147323/34 |location=Frankfurt am Main, Germany |publisher=Johann Wolfgang Goethe University |language=de |oclc=600186486)).

The first application of this idea in the United States was in 1951 by  [[Dwight Harken]]. Harken's concept of intensive care has been adopted worldwide and has improved the chance of survival for patients. He opened the first intensive care unit in 1951. In the 1960s, he developed the first device to help the heart pump. He also implanted artificial aortic and mitral valves. He continued to pioneer in surgical procedures for operating on the heart. He established and worked in several organizations related to the heart.

In 1955, William Mosenthal, a surgeon at the [[Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center]] also opened an early intensive care unit.<ref>((cite journal | last = Grossman | first = D.C. | title = Vital Signs: Remembering Dr. William Mosenthal: A simple idea from a special surgeon | url = http://dartmed.dartmouth.edu/spring04/html/vs_mosenthal.shtml | journal = Dartmouth Medicine | volume = 28 | issue = 3 | date = Spring 2004 | access-date = 2007-04-10))</ref> In the 1960s, the importance of [[cardiac arrhythmias]] as a source of [[morbidity]] and [[Death|mortality]] in [[myocardial infarction]]s (heart attacks) was recognized. This led to the routine use of cardiac monitoring in ICUs, especially after heart attacks.<ref>((cite web | title = História da Terapia Intensiva |trans-title=Intensive Care History | format = video in English linked to from website | url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF21OwIrS_M | work =Brazilian Society of Critical Care website| others = Produced by Tfran Ediçao de Imagens | publisher = Uploaded to YouTube by user: Thiago Francisco | date = 2008-06-06))</ref>

==Types==
Hospitals may have various specialized ICUs that cater to a specific medical requirement or patient:
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!Name
!Description
|-
|[[Coronary care unit]]
|Caters to patients specifically with life-threatening cardiac conditions such as a [[myocardial infarction]] or a [[cardiac arrest]].
|-
|Critical care unit
|Some large hospital trauma centers, especially but not exclusively in the United States, divide their main ICU, and perhaps even the other ICUs they may have, into sections that cater to those needing regular intensive care (the regular ICU), and those who are extremely unstable or near death, needing an even higher level of care (the critical care unit, or section).
|- 
|[[Geriatric intensive-care unit]]
|A special intensive care unit dedicated to management of critically ill elderly.
|-
|High dependency unit
|An intermediate ward for patients who require close observation, treatment and nursing care that cannot be provided in a general ward, but whose care is not at a critical stage to warrant an ICU bed. It is utilised until a patient's condition stabilizes to qualify for discharge to a general ward or recovery unit. It may also be called an ''intermediate care area'', ''step-down unit'', or ''progressive care unit''.<ref>((citation|title=Intensive Care Patients Experiences: High Dependency Units|date=November 2012|url=http://www.healthtalkonline.org/intensive_care/Intensive_care_Patients_experiences/Topic/1217/|work=healthtalkonline.org|location=Oxford, England|publisher=[[DIPEx Charity|DIPEx]]|format=compiled patient testimonials|access-date=2012-04-10|archive-date=2013-03-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130328144912/http://www.healthtalkonline.org/intensive_care/Intensive_care_Patients_experiences/Topic/1217|url-status=dead))</ref>
|-
|Isolation intensive care unit
|An intensive care unit for patients with suspected or diagnosed [[contagious disease]]s that require medical [[Isolation (health care)|isolation]].
|-
|Mobile intensive care unit (MICU)
|A specialized [[ambulance]] with the team and equipment to provide on-scene advanced life support and intensive care during transportation. Mobile ICUs are generally used for people who are being transferred from hospitals and from home to a hospital. In the Anglo-American model of pre-hospitalisation care mobile ICUs are generally crewed by specialised advanced life support paramedics. In the European model, mobile ICU teams are usually led by a nurse and physician.
|-
|[[Neonatal intensive care unit]] (NICU)
|Cares for neonatal patients who have not left the hospital after birth. Common conditions cared for include prematurity and associated complications, congenital disorders such as [[congenital diaphragmatic hernia]], or complications resulting from the birthing process.
|-
|Neurological intensive care unit
|Patients are treated for traumatic brain and spinal injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, brain tumors, stroke, rattlesnake bites and post surgical patients who have undergone various neurological surgeries performed by experienced [[neurosurgeon]]s  require constant neurological exams. Nurses who work within these units have neurological certifications. Once the patients are stable and removed from the ventilator, they are transferred to a neurological care unit.
|-
|[[Pediatric intensive care unit]]
|Pediatric patients are treated in this intensive care unit for life-threatening conditions such as asthma, influenza, diabetic ketoacidosis, or traumatic neurological injury. Surgical cases may also be referred following a surgery if the patient has a potential for rapid deterioration or if the patient requires monitoring, such as spinal fusions or surgeries involving the respiratory system such as removal of the tonsils or adenoids. Some facilities also have specialized pediatric cardiac intensive care units where patients with congenital heart disease are treated. These units also typically cater for cardiac transplantation and postoperative cardiac catheterization patients if those services are offered at the hospital.
|-
|[[Post-anesthesia care unit]]
|Provides immediate observation and stabilisation of patients following surgical operations and anesthesia. Patients are usually held in such facilities for a limited amount of time and have to meet set [[physiological]] criteria before being transferred back to a ward with a qualified nurse escort. Owing to high patient flow in recovery units, and to the [[bed management]] cycle, if a patient breaches a time frame and is too unstable to be transferred back to a ward, they are normally transferred to an intensive care unit in order to receive progressive treatment.
|-
|[[Psychiatric intensive care unit]]
|Patients at risk of self-harm are brought here for more intensive monitoring.
|-
|Surgical intensive care unit
|A specialized service in larger hospitals that provides inpatient care for critically ill patients on surgical services.  As opposed to other ICUs, the care is managed by surgeons or anesthesiologists trained in critical-care.
|-
|Trauma intensive care unit
|These are found in hospitals certified in treating [[major trauma]] with a dedicated trauma team equipped with the expertise to deal with serious complications.

==Equipment and systems==
Common equipment in an ICU includes [[mechanical ventilator]]s to assist breathing through an [[Tracheal intubation|endotracheal tube]] or a [[tracheostomy tube]]; cardiac monitors for monitoring Cardiac condition; equipment for the constant [[medical monitors|monitoring]] of bodily functions; a web of [[intravenous fluids|intravenous lines]], feeding tubes, [[nasogastric intubation|nasogastric tubes]], suction pumps, drains, and [[catheters]], syringe pumps; and a wide array of [[pharmacology|drugs]] to treat the primary condition(s) of hospitalization. [[induced coma|Medically induced comas]], [[analgesic]]s, and [[sedation|induced sedation]] are common ICU tools needed and used to reduce [[pain]] and prevent [[secondary infection]]s.

((Further|Burn recovery bed))

==Quality of care==
The available data suggests a relation between ICU volume and quality of care for mechanically ventilated patients.<ref>((cite journal | last1 = Kahn | first1 = J.M. | last2 = Goss | first2 = C.H. | last3 = Heagerty | first3= P.J. | last4 =  Kramer | first4 = A.A. | last5 = O'Brien | first5 = C.R. | last6 = Rubenfeld | first6 = G.D. |display-authors=4 | title = Hospital volume and the outcomes of mechanical ventilation | journal = [[New England Journal of Medicine]] | volume = 355 | issue = 1 | pages = 41–50 | date = 2006-07-06 | pmid = 16822995 | doi = 10.1056/NEJMsa053993| doi-access = free ))</ref> After adjustment for severity of illnesses, [[demography|demographic]] variables, and characteristics of different ICUs (including staffing by intensivists), higher ICU staffing was significantly associated with lower ICU and hospital [[mortality rate]]s. A ratio of 2 patients to 1 nurse is recommended for a medical ICU, which contrasts to the ratio of 4:1 or 5:1 typically seen on medical floors. This varies from country to country, though; e.g., in Australia and the United Kingdom, most ICUs are staffed on a 2:1 basis (for high-dependency patients who require closer monitoring or more intensive treatment than a hospital ward can offer) or on a 1:1 basis for patients requiring extreme intensive support and monitoring; for example, a patient on multiple vasoactive medications to keep their blood pressure high enough to perfuse tissue. The patient may require multiple machines; Examples: continuous dialysis [[Hemofiltration|CRRT]], a [[intra-aortic balloon pump]], [[ECMO]].

International guidelines recommend that every patient gets checked for [[delirium]] every day (usually twice or as much required) using a validated clinical tool. The two most widely used are the [[Confusion Assessment Method]] for the ICU (CAM-ICU) and the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC). There are translations of these tools in over 20 languages and they are used globally in many ICU's.<ref>((cite journal|last1=Ely|first1=EW|display-authors=etal|title=Delirium in mechanically ventilated patients: validity and reliability of the confusion assessment method for the intensive care unit (CAM-ICU).|journal=JAMA|date=2001-12-05|volume=286|issue=21|pages=2703–10|pmid=11730446|doi=10.1001/jama.286.21.2703|doi-access=free|hdl=10818/12438|hdl-access=free))</ref> Nurses are the largest group of healthcare professionals working in ICUs. There are findings which have demonstrated that nursing leadership styles have impact on ICU quality measures <ref>((Cite journal |last1=Kiwanuka |first1=Frank |last2=Nanyonga |first2=Rose Clarke |last3=Sak-Dankosky |first3=Natalia |last4=Muwanguzi |first4=Patience A. |last5=Kvist |first5=Tarja |title=Nursing leadership styles and their impact on intensive care unit quality measures: An integrative review |journal=Journal of Nursing Management |date=2021 |language=en |volume=29 |issue=2 |pages=133–142 |doi=10.1111/jonm.13151 |issn=0966-0429|doi-access=free |pmid=32881169 ))</ref> particularly structural and outcomes measures. 

==Operational logistics==
In the United States, up to 20% of hospital beds can be labelled as intensive-care beds; in the United Kingdom, intensive care usually will comprise only up to 2% of total beds. This high disparity is attributed to admission of patients in the UK only when considered the most severely ill.<ref>((cite journal|title=Organisation of intensive care|pmc=1115845|year=1999|volume=318|issue=7196|pmid=10346777|last1=Bennett|first1=D.|last2=Bion|first2=J.|pages=1468–70|journal=BMJ (Clinical Research Ed.)|doi=10.1136/bmj.318.7196.1468))</ref>

Intensive care is an expensive healthcare service.  A recent study conducted in the United States found that hospital stays involving ICU services were 2.5 times more costly than other hospital stays.<ref>((cite journal |vauthors=Barrett ML, Smith MW, Elizhauser A, Honigman LS, Pines JM | title =  Utilization of Intensive Care Services, 2011 | journal = HCUP Statistical Brief #185 | publisher = Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality | location = Rockville, MD | date = December 2014 | pmid = 25654157 | url =https://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/reports/statbriefs/sb185-Hospital-Intensive-Care-Units-2011.jsp))</ref>

In the United Kingdom in 2003–04, the average cost of funding an intensive care unit was:<ref>((citation |last= Winterton |first= R. |date= 2005-06-15 |title= Written Answers text: Trent Strategic Health Authority |work= Hansard – House of Commons Debates |volume= 435, part 87, column 520W |url= http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk/pa/cm200506/cmhansrd/vo050615/text/50615w38.htm#50615w38.html_spnew6 |publisher= Stationery Office, Parliament |location= Westminster, England |postscript= . |access-date= 2009-01-17 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110605030213/http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk/pa/cm200506/cmhansrd/vo050615/text/50615w38.htm#50615w38.html_spnew6 |archive-date= 2011-06-05 |url-status= dead ))</ref>

* £1,702 per bed per day for a pediatric intensive care unit
* £1,328 per bed per day for an adult intensive care unit

==Remote collaboration systems==
Some hospitals have installed teleconferencing systems that allow doctors and nurses at a central facility (either in the same building, at a central location serving several local hospitals, or in rural locations another more urban facility) to collaborate with on-site staff and speak with patients (a form of [telemedicine]).  This is variously called an ''eICU'', ''virtual ICU'', or ''tele-ICU''.  Remote staff typically have access to vital signs from live monitoring systems, and telectronic health records so they may have access to a broader view of a patient's medical history. Often bedside and remote staff have met in person and may rotate responsibilities.  Such systems are beneficial to intensive care units in order to ensure correct procedures are being followed for patients vulnerable to deterioration, to access vital signs remotely in order to keep patients that would have to be transferred to a larger facility if need be he/she may have demonstrated a significant decrease in stability.<ref>((cite web|url=http://wfae.org/post/hospitals-monitor-icu-patients-virtually-many-miles-away |title=Hospitals Monitor ICU Patients Virtually, From Many Miles Away |publisher=WFAE |date=2013-05-06 |access-date=2017-03-16))</ref><ref>((cite web |url=http://perspectives.ahima.org/tele-icu-efficacy-and-cost-effectiveness-of-remotely-managing-critical-care/#.Vzo3vJ6j7eQ |title=Tele-ICU: Efficacy and Cost-Effectiveness of Remotely Managing Critical Care &#124; Perspectives |website=Perspectives.ahima.org |date=2014-06-20 |access-date=2017-03-16 |archive-date=2017-02-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170228104332/http://perspectives.ahima.org/tele-icu-efficacy-and-cost-effectiveness-of-remotely-managing-critical-care/#.Vzo3vJ6j7eQ |url-status=dead ))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.chcf.org/publications/2014/01/teleicu-care |title=Emerging Best Practices for Tele-ICU Care |website=CHCF.org |access-date=2017-03-16))</ref><ref>((cite journal|title=A Second Set of Eyes: An Introduction to Tele-ICU|first=Susan F.|last=Goran|date=1 August 2010|journal=Crit Care Nurse|volume=30|issue=4|pages=46–55|doi=10.4037/ccn2010283|pmid=20675821|s2cid=43905861 ))</ref>
