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.

Risks may include infection, blood clots, bleeding, nerve damage, and complications related to anesthesia.

A positive result indicates past infection with the Dengue virus or successful vaccination against Dengue.

No, additional tests, such as Dengue IgM or PCR, may be required to differentiate recent infections from past ones.

No, the Dengue IgG test is not suitable for diagnosing acute Dengue infection. IgG antibodies appear later in the course of infection.

Dengue IgG antibodies can remain detectable in the bloodstream for months to years after infection or vaccination.

A negative result suggests no detectable Dengue IgG antibodies. If symptoms persist or there is a recent exposure, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
