Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built — it denotes a technique used in (critical) care, so the combination of 'care' + 'technique' transparently yields the intended meaning. However, 'crit' is a non-standard clipped abbreviation (likely for 'critical') that is not dictionary-listed here; unless a learner can map 'crit' to 'critical' the expression may be unclear, so overall transparency is partial.
Etymology
The compound noun crit care technique comes from hospital work with very sick patients. Here crit care is short for 'critical care' and technique means a careful, practiced 'method', so the phrase means a special method used to care for very ill patients.
