Abstract

This article explores the role of special senses in critical care, emphasizing their importance in patient assessment and recovery. Special senses, including vision, hearing, balance, smell, and taste, are mediated by complex sensory organs located in the head and lack of normal sensory input in critically ill patients can lead to delirium, and increase in morbidity and mortality. The article also emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive understanding of the special senses, which can prevent many serious complications related to critical illnesses and potentially aid in accelerated recovery, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
