The patient population includes those suffering from conditions such as sepsis, diabetic ketoacidosis, suicides, end-stage liver disease, end-stage renal disease, gastro-intestinal bleeds, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia, communicable diseases, end-of-life care, post-arrest care, and patients with acute on chronic medical issues/comorbidities. The role involves performing bedside procedures including intubations, lines, bronchoscopy, Level 1, Minnesota tube insertion, manual proning, and bedside continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Patients are typically admitted from the Emergency Department, outside facilities, and various units within the hospital. The nursing staff collaborates with interdisciplinary teams to provide essential care, and all patients are under the care of Pulmonary Faculty attendants with physician coverage available 24/7. The MICU nursing staff also respond to all rapid response calls and codes in the hospital, maintaining an arrest bed 24/7 for rapidly declining patients. Orientation for RNs in this unit lasts 10-12 weeks, depending on the RN's experience level, with the goal of providing highly skilled complex nursing care to stabilize patients' critical needs.
