Inpatient treatment is medical care provided to patients in an inpatient setting in a hospital or other medical facility. Such treatment is carried out under the supervision of experienced specialists and requires constant medical supervision.
Inpatient care may be necessary for patients for a variety of reasons, such as surgery, treatment of chronic diseases, recovery from injury or illness, and to manage complications of illness.
Specialists can use various methods of treatment in a hospital, such as drug therapy, physical therapy, kinesitherapy procedures, brain manipulation, infusions, injections and other types of medical care. In some cases, if necessary, special medical devices and technologies are used.

Inpatient treatment for L. - hospital patients who are in the hospital. As a rule, L. in a hospital occurs for many diseases and means the continuation of the begun inpatient regimen. This can be supplemented by changing the patient’s daily routine (walking, using an educational institution, etc.). The indication for L. of the patient, especially after the end of the acute period of the disease, is the degree of preservation and the conditions for his recovery (see Rehabilitation). The need and duration of therapy are determined by the doctor. Departments can be general (for various diseases, without limiting the age of those admitted) and specialized (with a special regime for a specific disease). In cases of violation of the regimen or intensified therapy, the patient may be discharged from the department ahead of schedule with an appropriate note in the medical history. In many countries the concept of “home treatment” is used.
