| | Intensive care medicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Intensive care medicine or critical care medicine is concerned with providing greater than ordinary medical care and observation to people in a critical or unstable condition. | | | Intensive care is only offered to those whose condition is potentially reversible and who have a good chance of surviving with intensive care support. | | | Intensive care usually takes a system by system approach to treatment, rather than the SOAP (subjective, objective, analysis, plan) approach of high dependency care. |

| | NICU Design Std |
| | For the purposes of this document, newborn intensive care is defined as care for medically unstable or critically ill newborns requiring constant nursing, complicated surgical procedures, continual respiratory support, or other intensive interventions. | | | External windows in infant care rooms shall be glazed with insulating glass to minimize heat gain or loss, and shall be situated at least 2 feet (61 cm) away from any part of a baby's bed to minimize radiant heat loss from the baby. | | | In locations where these functions overlap with infant care areas (e.g., close proximity of the nurse charting area to infant beds), the design should nevertheless permit separate light sources with independent controls so the very different needs of sleeping infants and working nurses can be accommodated to the greatest possible extent. |
