General Info

Critical Care Medicine's primary clinical activities occur in the Medical-Surgical Intensive Care Unit (MSICU). The MSICU is one of the highest volume pediatric intensive care units in the United States, with 30 beds and more than 2,000 admissions annually. The MSICU provides care for infants and children with all types of medical and surgical conditions except for cardiac surgery, with specific expertise in the care of patients with neurologic and oncologic diseases (including stem cell transplant recipients). Critical Care Medicine has a unique collaboration with the Department of Surgery, with surgeons trained in critical care providing coverage in the MSICU.
