The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is comprised of a multidisciplinary care structure that ensures the highest level of care and attention. The ICU nurses and providers are proud to partner with our in-house divisions including: surgical services, cardiology, podiatry, obstetrics and pediatrics, to safely and effectively treat our citizens. Our nurses and providers are knowledgeable in the latest lifesaving treatments and interventions to stabilize and treat patients in an environment rich in Chickasaw culture and care.
Our teams work closely with our in-house respiratory therapy to ensure all respiratory concerns are dealt with in a safe and consistent manner. Evidence-based care models based on algorithms from the American Heart Association courses including Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Pediatric Advanced Life Support. We also treat in tandem with fellow providers from specialty areas of care.
We are excited to announce that we are beginning a new initiative to send our nurses to training to receive the newest and most effective intensive care knowledge. The Critical Care Registered Nurse training will allow our ICU to better serve the intensive care needs of our Native people.
