Critical care medicine is a multidisciplinary branch of medicine encompassing the provision of organ support to patients who are severely ill. All areas of medicine may have relevance for critically ill patients; however, this review focuses only on aspects of cardiopulmonary monitoring, life support, technologic interventions, and disease states typically managed in the intensive care unit (ICU). Airway management, venous access, respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation, acute respiratory distress syndrome, shock, and sepsis are reviewed.
