Evelyn and Daniel M. Tabas Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU)

Located on the sixth floor of Children's Hospital's South Tower, the 24-bed Cardiac Intensive Care Unit is one of the largest dedicated CICUs in the world. Every technological form of support and treatment available in cardiac care is available here.

This state-of-the-art CICU is designed and staffed to care for the children during the most intense period of their treatment.

These children and their families receive interdisciplinary care from a team of pediatric cardiac intensivists, cardiologists, cardiac anesthesiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons and cardiac nurses. This team is enhanced by a full spectrum of specialized staff in congenital heart and cardiac diseases from pharmacy, respiratory therapy, child life, social work and psychology. Expert consultation from all of the other Children's Hospital specialists is just moments away if needed.

To ensure that patients always have the best care immediately available, there is an attending physician plus one to two fellows in the ICU 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Nurses and Respiratory Therapists are also always available to the patients and staffed at a comparable level.
