Urinary Catheter
This is a tube that is passed into the bladder and allows the nurses to monitor how much urine is produced each hour.
Transfer
Moving a patient within or between hospitals. Critical care patients commonly require intra-hospital transfer to radiology for a scan or to theatres for an operation. Patients may require inter-hospital transfer because their nearest intensive care bed is in another hospital or to receive a specialist treatment not available in their original centre.
