ICUs are equipped with a wide range of advanced medical equipment to provide life support and specialized care to critically ill patients. Some of the equipment commonly found in an ICU include:
Ventilators: mechanical devices that help patients breathe when they are unable to do so on their own.
Heart monitors: devices that track a patient’s heart rate and rhythm.
X-ray machines: machines that use radiation to produce images of the body to help diagnose and treat conditions.
Ultrasound machines: machines that use sound waves to produce images of the body to help diagnose and treat conditions.
