AI overview
An intensive care unit (ICU) is a hospital ward where doctors and nurses provide intensive care medicine to patients who are critically ill or injured and need constant monitoring and treatment. It matters because patients in ICUs require specialized medical support that wouldn't be available in regular hospital rooms, giving them the best chance of surviving serious health emergencies.
