Goals of Critical Care
Stabilization: Quickly stabilize the patient's condition.
Support: Provide vital organ support (e.g., heart, lungs, kidneys) until the underlying condition can be treated or the organs recover.
Recovery: Facilitate recovery through intensive monitoring and treatment, preventing complications.
Outcome
Survival: The primary goal is to save lives, but not all critical care interventions are successful.
Quality of Life: Beyond survival, efforts are made to ensure that patients can return to a meaningful quality of life.
