• Patients requiring assisted (non-invasive) ventilation
• Patients requiring frequent clinical review
• Patients requiring ventilation as per Tipperary University Hospital major critical care surge plan.
• Monitor and action on the cardiac telemetry systems for the hospital.

Patients are admitted via the Emergency Department, Medical Assessment Unit or from inpatient beds within the hospital.
