More about our SICU unit:

SICU: The Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) is a 12-bed unit. This unit serves adult and, occasionally, adolescent patients. Diagnostic categories include neurology, neurosurgery, general surgery, vascular surgery, thoracic surgery, internal medicine, respiratory disease and OB/Gyn surgery. Many patients are admitted to the SICU directly from the operating room for their initial recovery period, including those undergoing kidney transplants. These patients receive care in the SICU immediately post-op and remain on the unit for the first few days following the transplant. Any patients requiring intraventricular/intracerebral monitoring are cared for in SICU. All SICU nurses become NIH Stroke Scale Certified within their first year on the unit. The SICU vision is to consistently provide exceptional patient and family-focused care with expert knowledge, mutual respect and professionalism in an enthusiastic, nurturing and rewarding environment.
