Abstract

This article aims to show the historical formation of intensive care units as spaces guided by ethical rules and organized according to the advances in scientific knowledge in health. Rescuing the lives of patients at risk of death is the main ethical objective that guides work in intensive care units. Since the first ICU, created by Florence Nightingale during the Crimean War (1853-1856), and in the hundred years that followed, the preponderant role of nursing became evident, both in the organization of hospital space, and in the surveillance and monitoring of patients. The emergence of organic support technologies has transformed the ICU into a space not only for surveillance, but also for therapeutic interventions.
