In addition to basic measurements such as pulse, blood pressure, and temperature, they measure the patient’s respiration.

Intensive care medicine, also called critical care medicine, is a medical specialty that deals with seriously or critically ill patients who have, are at risk of, or are recovering from conditions that may be life-threatening. An intensivist (critical care specialist) is another name for a physician with special training who takes care of intensive care patients.
