Help! Critical Care Interventions

I need help proving to my trauma surgeons that critical care requires not only a critical illness or injury, time of 30 min or >, but also an aggressive intervention. They sometimes have trauma patients who they state are critically injured and require intensive monitoring or constant bedside attention due to the risk of imminent deterioration. These patients sometimes may not have organ failure but they often do have multiple trauma and are high risk due to the mechanism of their injuries. My physicians state that their assessment and presence alone is the "intervention" and that sometimes the best intervention is no intervention at all. I have given them the Medicare Guidelines stating that they must assess, manipulate, and support vital system functions. They still argue the aggressive intervention is not necessary. Help! Am I wrong....? This is such a grey area to me.
