Intensive Care

Hospital Corridor

Intensive Care Unit

A Critical Care Unit also known as Intensive care is a specialised area in the hospital that manages patients who are critically ill or those requiring closer monitoring than is available on a general ward.

Around 2000 patients in Belfast Trust are admitted to one of our critical care units each year. Patients admitted to critical care often require support for one or more of their vital organs such as their lungs, heart or kidneys.

Patients may also be admitted to intensive care if they require close monitoring, such as after major surgery.

Research in Critical Care

Like any of the leading hospitals and ICUs around the world, we are constantly looking for new ways to improve the care we give our patients. Research studies are one way in which we do this.
