  • Syncope due to bradycardia

  • High-risk patients requiring intensive preoperative preparation and support

  • Postoperative patients requiring close monitoring and hemodynamic support or prolonged mechanical ventilation

  • Severe infections

  • Severe central nervous system pathologies and surgeries (bleeding over the sinuses, depressed fractures, severe cerebral edema, subarachnoid hemorrhage, spinal shock, diffuse axonal injury, cord edema, etc.)

  • Multiple trauma patients

  • Decompensated heart failure

  • Diabetic ketoacidosis

  • Patients whose condition is expected to deteriorate or are suspected and need observation

  • Drug intoxication

  • Drug reactions

  • Patients undergoing cardiac surgery

  • Infections following cardiac surgery

  • Coagulation disorders

  • Patients with uncomplicated myocardial ischemia and arrhythmias

  • Uncomplicated neurosurgical emergencies and encephalopathies not requiring respiratory support

  • Uncomplicated cardiologic emergencies not requiring respiratory support

  • Patients requiring close follow-up after coronary angiography

  • Malignant hypertension

  • Myocarditis

  • Patients without organ failure but at risk of sudden deterioration of vital functions, non-shock hemorrhages, uncomplicated but risky traumas, poisonings

  • Pericardial tamponade

  • Patients requiring close follow-up and support after percutaneous coronary intervention

  • Central nervous system pathologies and surgeries (minimal epidural/subdural hematomas, posterior fossa pathologies, cranial fractures, vertebral fractures, spinal/lumbar drainage, etc.)

  • Neuromuscular diseases requiring respiratory support, patients requiring non-invasive mechanical ventilation

  • Acute single organ failures other than respiratory failure (acute kidney failure not requiring dialysis, stable chronic kidney failure, mild liver failure, etc.)

  • Patients with respiratory failure

  • Patients requiring close monitoring whose routine treatment methods are insufficient but who have not yet developed organ failure and do not require respiratory support (mild ketoacidosis, mild pancreatitis, frequent nasotracheal aspiration needs, etc.)

  • Patients requiring single organ monitoring and support (dialysis, mechanical ventilation, etc.)

  • Uremic symptoms

  • Newly detected life-threatening pathological values in vital signs or laboratory parameters


Due to the high cost of resources and limited number of ICU beds, admission is prioritized for patients who will gain “real benefit” from intensive care, ensuring efficient use of ICU units. Necessary regulations regarding this matter are made by the ICU supervisor.
