I
hope the drawings have helped you to understand the Intensive Care Unit.
The following pages have photographs of an ICU. Remember, the machines will
be different from unit to unit and hospital to hospital, but the purpose
of each machine remains the same: ventilators help patients breath, IV pumps
deliver fluid.
