Patients are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for organ support, principally mechanical ventilation, and invasive monitoring. It is widely believed, based on dramatic improvements in perioperative outcomes since the 1960s, that monitoring the critically ill patient, invasively and noninvasively, leads to clear therapeutic goals, detects early manifestations of disease, and reduces morbidity and mortality.
