Intensive Care

Providence Health Care has intensive care units, or ICUs, at St. Paul's and Mount Saint Joseph hospitals.

ICUs provide treatment to patients who are the most severely ill, are suffering from multi-organ failure and require ventilation. Their treatment includes a variety of life-support systems from medications and computerized cardiac equipment to mechanical ventilation and renal replacement therapy.

The interdisciplinary care team may include physicians, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, nutritionists, pastoral care workers, physiotherapists, social workers and music therapists. Members of the ICU team work closely with families and patients to provide psychological, spiritual and emotional support. Nurses focus their care one-on-one with patients. Teaching and research are also conducted.
