An Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a specially staffed and equipped, separate and self-contained area of a hospital dedicated to the management of patients with life-threatening illnesses, injuries and complications, and monitoring of potentially life-threatening conditions. It provides special expertise and facilities for support of vital functions and uses the skills of medical, nursing and other personnel experienced in the management of these problems. In many units, ICU staff are required to provide services outside of the ICU such as emergency response (e.g. rapid response teams) and outreach services. Where applicable the hospital must provide adequate resources for these activities.
