An "intensivista" is a specialist in intensive care medicine, also known as critical care medicine. Such a specialist is called an "intensivist":
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicina_intensiva#Médicos_e_I...
"Intensive care medicine, or critical care medicine, is a branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis and management of life-threatening conditions that may require sophisticated life support and monitoring. [...] Physicians with training in critical care medicine are referred to as intensivists"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_care_medicine
https://www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore-roles/doctors/roles...
"De guardia" means the one (or one of those) on duty at the time:
"no patient in my hospital is allowed the luxury of death unless it is authorised by the duty intensivist. "

The Spanish is expressed in the "historical present", referring to the past; you would use a past tense in English.

On the following bit, "entra a BOX REA", it's a separate clause (it's quite common for these things to be run together without punctuation in medical notes like this. It means that the patient was put in the/a resuscitation cubicle. BOX means a cubicle and REA means reanimación.
