What exactly does STABLE mean when you are in intensive care?

It means that your vital signs (heart rate, temperature, blood pressure, etc.) are not fluctuating and at a level that can sustain life. In general, it means that your overall medical condition is maintaining itself at a steady level.Depending on the problem, it doesn't necessarily mean you are out of danger, but it does mean that your condition hasn't deteriorated...for the moment.

NOT dying any more Honey

it means you'll live for now but there is still a ways to go.

This or That!

You may live, you may die!

means your condition isn't deteriorating, but similarly, doesn't mean that its improving

You condition is so far un-changing. You're maintaining the condition you are in without ups or downs at the moment.

It means that you aren't deteriorating. That they've fixed all of the problems they can and only time or non-emergency surgery can help.

it means just that.
Your vital function is stable such as your blood pressure, your heart rate and pulse rate.Or maybe your sugar rate or temperature

It means you are not critical anymore...ie not about to die at any minute but you are still very very poorly though maintaining your condition....not out the woods yet.

it means that you are not expected to get worse, that your condition is manageable

It means you are not going down hill. Your Problem has Stabilized.

That's a very good word to hear when you are in IC. It has a positive meaning, it means all the signs are there that you have a good chance of pulling through

When you are stable you are not going to fall or crash. Your still in a condition that needs to be observed and cared for but you are not life threating; you're stable.

it means that while you are in need of very acute care, your condition is not worsening. Your body is stable, no acute episodes at the moment

Exactly means that your condition is not worsening, the hospital can charge more days of intensive care to your relatives.

You won't die today, but can't guarantee that tomorrow.

The doctor thinks he knows your still alive,and he's is fairly sure your not dead yet, at least

It means that they aren't in serious danger they are functioning as well as possible their BP is normal and heart is beating and lungs are inflating and deflating

stable means all vitial signs are with in a normal range .

Stable means that your vital signs (blood pressure, heartbeat, pulse/oxygen etc..) are normal at the current time

Stable means that your vitals no longer crash, your heart rate and bp have leveled off and are remaining where they belong, and in most cases your brain activities are normal.

It means that they no longer need to intervien medically to provide you with life support, you body is basically supporting itself.

It means that your condition has levelled out, you're out of the "extreme danger" zone, but you're not fully recovered yet, and it also means that your condition isn't changing rapidly from one minute to the next.

stable: the physical state of the patient doesn't change, but remains approximately the same

therefore, not getting worse, but not better either

nevertheless, it is usually incouraging, becausestable means that the threat of death has (for the time at least) been averted.

it mean that they can control you're situation it does'nt mean
you're out of the wood just yet
