An intensive care unit is one where people need an intense amount of monitoring because their condition is precarious or expected to change quickly, without warning...heart patients, people who have been in major accidents, post-operative patients. You don't need that kind of monitoring if you're getting over a broken limb or had a baby a few days ago.
