Difference between normal ward and ICU

When the health of a person in a normal ward worsens and he/she requires critical care then they are taken to the ICU.

ICU has provisions to support the failing organs of the critical patient 24/7 which the normal ward doesn’t.

Vitals are monitored 24/7 in the ICU.

The staff in the ICU are trained in the procedures of ICU and to deal with the patients that require critical care medicine.
