Cardiac Critical Care

The section of Cardiac Critical Care provides specialized care to critically ill patients with heart conditions, both immediately post operatively or during times of serious illness, from infancy through adulthood.  The Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) is an 8 bed unit at WVU Medicine Children’s and is staffed by fellowship trained Pediatric Cardiac Intensivists working with a dedicated multidisciplinary team including advanced practice professionals, cardiac nurses, respiratory therapists, and pharmacist.  The Cardiac Critical Care team will work closely with the Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgery and Pediatric Cardiology teams for the most complex congenital cardiac patients including children requiring ECMO to support both cardiac and non-cardiac diseases.
