Critical and Intensive Care Nursing involves the specialized care of patients facing life-threatening conditions requiring constant monitoring, advanced medical interventions, and rapid decision-making. At the 5th Edition of the World Nursing Research Conference, the critical role of nurses working in high-acuity settings such as Intensive Care Units (ICUs), Cardiac Care Units (CCUs), and Emergency Departments will be emphasized. Their responsibilities include managing ventilators, administering critical medications, interpreting complex diagnostic results, and providing round-the-clock surveillance. Beyond clinical skills, critical care nurses offer emotional support to patients and families during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives, ensuring that care remains both technically proficient and compassionately delivered.
