Inside ICU: A final hope for the critically ill

ICU stands for Intensive Care Unit. It is a hospital's most equipment-intensive department, dedicated to critical care. Yet it also carries a deeper resonance: "I see you." It is a witness to the agonizing seconds counted by families waiting outside, the quiet miracles behind ventilators and the fierce, unwavering resolve of doctors and nurses helping patients navigate the thin line between life and death.

CGTN speaks with Professor Kang Yan, director of Critical Care Medicine at West China Hospital. Leading a team that treats over 10,000 critically ill patients annually with a survival rate above 95%, Professor Kang demystifies the field. From ECMO and CRRT to multi-device integration, he addresses the public's primary concerns about intensive care in plain, accessible language.
