ICU vs. LTC Staffing Comparison

This document compares staffing between intensive care units (ICU) and long-term care (LTC) facilities. ICUs have specialized doctors and nurses available 24/7 to handle critical illnesses such as sepsis, pneumonia, gastrointestinal bleeds, respiratory failure, and multiple organ system failures. In contrast, LTC facilities typically have general practitioners available with nurses treating chronic conditions like congestive heart failure, diabetes, seizures, electrolyte imbalances, and urinary tract infections.
