The goals of the intensive care unit (ICO) patient care team are to provide excellent monitoring and nursing care, and to prevent complications that result from anorexia, inactivity, the presence of invasive lines (i.e. catheters, feeding tubes, chest tubes, etc.) and from the primary disease itself.
