| The following information has been prepared to help friends and families of patients in Intensive Care to understand the types of Medical Services being provided.
An Intensive Care Unit is dedicated to providing intensive observation and monitoring to the sickest patients in the hospital. When critical care is no longer necessary, patients are transferred to a regular unit in the hospital. Brookdale's ICUs are as follows:
Medical Intensive Care Unit(MICU), for patients requiring critical medical care.
Surgical Intensive Care Unit(SICU), for patients requiring critical surgical care.
Coronary Care Unit(CCU), for patients requiring critical coronary (heart) care.
Intermediate Care Unit(6A), for patients well enough to leave the CCU, but who still require cardiac monitoring.
The department also has a new remote telemetry monitoring service so that patients requiring monitoring may stay in a regular room rather than be transferred to another location and healthcare team.
