Critical Care Medicine: This is a branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis and management of life-threatening conditions that may require sophisticated life support and monitoring. Patients requiring intensive care may require support for instability (hypertension/hypotension), airway or respiratory compromise (such as ventilator support), acute renal failure, potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmias, or the cumulative effects of multiple organ failure, more commonly referred to now as multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. They may also be admitted for intensive/invasive monitoring, such as the crucial hours after major surgery when deemed too unstable to transfer to a less intensively monitored unit. Intensive care is usually only offered to those whose condition is potentially reversible and who have a good chance of surviving with intensive care support.[citation needed] A prime requisite for admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) is that the underlying condition can be overcome.
