Intensive Care
Our Intensive Care Unit combines state-of-the-art monitoring and diagnostic equipment with the compassion and understanding of a professional nursing staff.
The equipment in our ICU includes mechanical ventilators to assist breathing through an endotracheal tube or a tracheotomy opening; equipment for the constant monitoring of bodily functions; a web of intravenous lines, feeding tubes, nasogastric tubes, suction pumps, drains and catheters; and a wide array of drugs to treat the main condition(s), induce sedation, reduce pain, and prevent secondary infections.
Our ICU medical staff includes intensivists with training in internal medicine, surgery, and anesthesia. Many Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants with specialized training are also now part of the staff that provide continuity of care for patients. Staff typically includes specially trained critical care Registered Nurses, Registered Respiratory Therapists, Nutritionists, and Physical Therapists.
