Critical care procedures for adults and newborns
ICU and NICU procedures performed by the critical care team with continuous monitoring and 24-hour cover.
What to expect.
The ICU and NICU provide procedures and organ support for critically ill adults and newborns, with continuous monitoring 24 hours a day.
In the ICU, that means managing severe infections and sepsis, respiratory failure, cardiac emergencies, stroke, trauma and post-surgical recovery. In the NICU, it means caring for premature babies, low-birth-weight infants and newborns with breathing difficulties, infections or complications at birth.
