Le domaine des soins intensifs est multidisciplinaire. La formation en soins intensifs adultes permet d'acquérir une expertise en soins de tout patient ayant subi, ou à risque de subir, un événement morbide ou potentiellement mortel au niveau d'un ou de plusieurs organes/systèmes. Un intensiviste sait reconnaître les pathologies pertinentes aux soins intensifs, et soigne chaque aspect d'un malade instable en l'observant et en intervenant de façon à rétablir un équilibre physiologique pour prévenir les complications inhérentes à son état. 4, record 1, French, - intensiviste
