[0002] The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a medical department specifically responsible for the care of critically ill patients. It typically handles critically ill patients, such as those with severe conditions, trauma patients, and post-operative patients. ICU nursing staff closely monitor patients' vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature. ICU patient care requires comprehensive assessment and integrated nursing interventions to ensure patients receive the most effective treatment and care during critical periods. Nursing staff need to closely monitor changes in the patient's condition, adjust nursing measures promptly, and provide safe, high-quality nursing services. When caring for critically ill patients in the ICU, cushions should be used to prevent pressure sores.
