What are ICU functions?
Intensive care units (ICUs) are specialist hospital wards that provide treatment and monitoring for people who are very ill. They're staffed with specially trained healthcare professionals and contain sophisticated monitoring equipment.
Which procedure are done in ICU?
Some of the procedures performed at the bed of the patient may need ultrasound guidance. Ultrasound should be available in the ICU department and portable devices can guide paracentesis, thoracocentesis, pericardial puncture, abscess drainage, insertion of venous central line, or insertion of an arterial line.
