Carnswell Medical Center’s Intensive Critical Care Unit (ICCU) cares for serious or critical care patients of all ages. This includes patients on ventilators, those being monitored for cardiac conditions, post-surgical recoveries, and critically ill medical patients. The hospital has highly trained nurses to respond and care for patients whose conditions are deteriorating or patients who arrive in a code situation.

 

ICCU staff members work closely with cardiologists from the Carnswell Medical Group to provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date care for cardiac patients. All ICCU staff members are Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), and Trauma Nursing Core Course (TNCC) certified. ICCU staff members also offer community training to certify physicians, nurses, and EMS crews in CPR and ACLS.

 

In addition to being associated with some of the top physicians in the nation, Carnswell Medical Center’s ICCU is a small facility, which allows staff members to provide patients with a personalized level of care that is not possible in larger medical facilities.
