Intensive Care
   
The Intensive Care Unit is comprised of two areas that provide 24-hour, high-tech, personalized care to critically ill patients.

Critical care-trained registered nurses monitor acutely ill medical and surgical patients. Services include continuous nursing care as well as continuous or frequent monitoring of one or more vital functions.

A variety of adult patients are cared for with the exception of burn patients and immediate post-open heart surgery patients. Heart surgery patients are treated in the Cardiovascular Surgical Unit. 

UCH is also home to a dedicated Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and a 5-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).  Both are staffed by physicians who specialize in the special care needs of critically ill children.
