"The second type is high-risk patients. These patients usually have underlying diseases with potential dangers and may be preparing for invasive surgeries that carry higher risks. Examples include severe pancreatitis, severe asthma, organ failure, severe obstetrics complications, and so on. The principle of admitting these patients is to effectively prevent and treat their complications, reduce medical expenses, and shorten hospital stays."
Many patients, if not admitted to the ICU during the waiting period for surgery, may never meet the criteria to be taken to the operating table.
In such cases, it is a good choice to decisively opt for admission to the ICU to save lives first, and then schedule surgery later.
Many people think that being admitted to the ICU is just burning money, but actually, it's quite the opposite.
Sometimes it may even save on medical expenses.
Imagine when various complications explode, the cost of emergency treatments is incredibly high.
