Pulmonology & Critical Care Specialists

People with life-threatening injuries and illnesses need critical care. Critical care involves close, constant attention by a team of specially-trained health professionals. It usually takes place in an intensive care unit (ICU) or trauma center. Problems that might need critical care treatment include complications from surgery, accidents, heart attack, stroke, infections, severe breathing problems, premature birth, poisoning, gunshot or stabbing wounds, a fall, burns, drug reaction, drug overdose or an industrial accident.
