This guide provides important information and advice about intensive care. It explains how severe illnesses are treated and offers insights into what the recovery process might involve. While not every patient will go through the same experiences, those who spend several days in intensive care are more likely to encounter many of the topics covered here.

Though the guide is primarily aimed at patients, there is a dedicated section for relatives and visitors. By reading this, family members can gain a better understanding of what the recovery process may entail and find answers to some of the common questions they might have.
