Critical care, also known as intensive care, is specialized medical care for patients with life-threatening conditions that require comprehensive monitoring and treatment.

Conditions such as severe infections, respiratory failure, heart attack, stroke, major surgeries, traumatic injuries, and organ failure often necessitate critical care.

The critical care team includes intensivists, critical care nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and other specialized healthcare providers.

ICU equipment includes ventilators, monitors, infusion pumps, dialysis machines, and other devices to support and monitor vital functions.

Patients in the ICU are continuously monitored using advanced technology to track vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and respiratory rate.

A positive result suggests exposure to Treponema pallidum, the bacterium causing syphilis. Further tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis.

No, the VDRL test detects antibodies to Treponema pallidum, which may persist even after successful treatment. Additional tests may be required for confirmation.

Yes, routine VDRL testing during pregnancy helps detect and treat syphilis early to prevent transmission to the fetus.

No specific precautions are necessary. Follow any instructions provided by your healthcare provider based on your results.

Consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation, as additional tests or clinical assessment may be necessary.

Some children may require additional surgeries for speech improvement, dental issues, or aesthetic enhancements as they grow.
