Medical ICU
Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) specializes in caring for high-acuity patients with complex medical diagnoses from sepsis to respiratory failure, acute renal failure, life-threatening gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, and metabolic disorders. The unit consists of 21 beds; all are single rooms.
The unit is operated by staff skilled in managing medical ICU patients on a 24/7 basis.
The multidisciplinary team consists of ICU consultants, critical care nurses, respiratory therapists, clinical pharmacists, clinical nutritionists, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, and social workers to provide the highest level of care to critically ill patients and their families.
Families play a vital role in the management of patients in the MICU. The medical team communicates with families regularly through face-to-face or video calls.
Several quality improvement projects are performed in the medical ICU to improve the care of patients.
