SITUATION OF CRITICAL CARE NURSES IN SPAIN
A critical illness or injury acutely impairs one or more vital organ systems such that there is a high probability of imminent or life-threatening. Care of these patients can take place anywhere in the inpatients hospital setting, although it typically occurs in the ICU. Critical care involves highly complex decision making to assess, manage, and support vital system functions, to treat single or multiple vital organ system failure, and/or to prevent further life-threatening deterioration of the patient’s condition.
