Children's National is growing! If you are a Cardiac ICU experienced RN with progressive leadership experience in your specialty, consider joining our award winning CICU team!
Renowned globally for our innovation in pediatric heart procedures, our surgeons just performed the first ever partial heart transplant on an 11 year old boy, replacing an artificial valve with a live tissue valve from a donated heart. Replacing the artificial valve with a living transplanted valve will give our patient the freedom from a lifetime of blood-thinning medication and multiple open heart surgeries to replace artificial valves. Research also shows these live tissue implants should grow along with him, greatly decreasing the likelihood of future open-heart surgeries.
Our CICU is a 26-bed unit, capable of supporting many surgical procedures on the unit itself to minimize patient risk. Our world-class team of clinicians provides comprehensive cardiac care to pediatric patients and their families. The CICU Patient Care Management Team coordinates interdisciplinary patient assessment and patient care, provided by cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, pediatric intensivists, and nursing in conjunction with multiple specialty services within the hospital. Patients are admitted to the CICU from the ED, Cardiac Clinic, the Operating Room, and transfers from in-house units as well as transports from other institutions via the Pediatric Transport team.
The CICU also provides for extracorporeal life support (ECMO) and rapid deployment ECMO. Twenty to twenty-five percent of the intensive care patients are cardiovascular surgery or cardiac patients. Children requiring repair of congenital heart defects from the simple to the complex, including heart transplants receive care in the CICU.
The Cardiac Intensive Care Unit provides subspecialty care for critically ill patients with congenital, acquired cardiovascular or related diseases. The 26-bed unit integrates the latest technology in a family friendly environment. The multidisciplinary team is dedicated to improving outcomes for children through innovation and research.
The CICU staff includes an integrated cardiac team with all sub-specialists readily available and accessible. The unit-based staff includes a dedicated pharmacist, respiratory therapist, social worker, nurses, as well as physicians from the divisions of anesthesiology, critical care medicine, cardiology and cardiac surgery. Children’s CICU is home to an Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) center of excellence for ECMO services in children. The CICU also has VAD (Ventricular Assist Device) and heart transplant programs.
