When Mount Sinai Morningside patients need constant and close supervision, we often take care of them in one of our intensive care units (ICU). In our ICUs, we can provide 24/7 monitoring and life support. We have the most advanced critical care equipment and technology. Our staff is specially trained to provide this intensive level of care.

At Mount Sinai Morningside, we have three ICUs:

• Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU): We care for the sickest heart patients, offering both medical and surgical services. Conditions we treat include acute heart failure, cardiac arrest, and complex critical illnesses in cardiac patients.
• Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU): Here, we see a variety of patients with serious illnesses or injuries. These include patients who have cancer, severe infection, kidney failure, and respiratory failure.
• Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU): As a designated Level II trauma center, SICU cares for those patients who have experienced acute traumatic injuries. Also cared for are postoperative surgical patients, such as those who have undergone complex abdominal, neurosurgical, or orthopedic procedures.
